People get stuck because their to-do items are too abstract ('Plan vacation') without clear next actions. AI can now decompose these effectively.

Create an app where users write tasks in natural language, then see AI-generated step-by-step plans with deadlines and resource suggestions.

Sell premium features like integration with calendar and team collaboration.

MVP could be a simple web app with OpenAI API integration.

Risk is overpromising on AI's ability to understand personal contexts.
