GTD, or Getting Things Done, begins by collecting everything that has your attention in a trusted inbox. You do not need to solve or sort each thought while capturing it.

The AI exercise here is our application of the next step: clarifying what the notes mean. First, make a quick brain dump with one thought per line. Then remove names and sensitive details before pasting the list into an AI chat.

“Check winter tyres” might produce the question: “Do you want to book a tyre change, inspect the tread depth or just save information?” Your answer helps you choose the next step without letting AI choose for you.

This short text task can be tried in Gemini without a paid AI plan, subject to standard usage limits. Move your own decisions into the system you trust. The chat helps you think; it does not replace your inbox.
