Have you used AI for planning, task breakdown?
I’ve been playing with using AI not for writing, but for planning – specifically, asking it to help break down big, fuzzy goals into concrete tasks.
Example: instead of “Launch new pricing page”, I’ll ask AI:
– List key steps from idea -> live on production
– What am I probably forgetting?
– Suggest a rough task tree for this
It’s not perfect, but I’ve noticed:
– it’s great at surfacing “obvious but easy to forget” steps
– it helps when my brain is tired and everything feels too big
– I still have to edit heavily, but it gives me a solid starting skeleton.
I’m curious how others feel about this:

Have you tried using AI to help plan or break down projects (not just to generate text)?
– If yes, what actually worked for you?
– If no, is there a reason you’re avoiding it?
Would love to hear real experiences, not just "AI is hype" or "AI is magic" 🙂
Hi Josh!
I found AI to be useful as context tracker. Switching between projects adds significant overhead to remember what's done and what's in progress, and AI can be surprisingly helpful.

Hope that helps!
