FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about what Todos for Agents does, how agents connect, and what's still to come.
The product
What is Todos for Agents?
Todos for Agents is a hosted to-do list built for AI agents. Your agent can create tasks, set priorities and due dates, mark work complete, and look up what's still outstanding. The tasks are stored in the service, not in a conversation, so they're still there the next time the agent, or a person, checks.
How is this different from a regular to-do list?
A regular to-do list is designed for people clicking buttons. Todos for Agents is designed for an AI agent to read and update directly, with clear operations for creating, updating, completing, and retrieving tasks. People still get a simple web view of the same tasks, so both sides work from one list.
Who is Todos for Agents for?
Businesses and teams that use AI agents for real work, such as sales follow-ups, operations checklists, and project coordination, and want that work tracked somewhere people can see. It's also useful for developers building agents that need to remember tasks between runs.
Does Todos for Agents do the tasks for me?
No. It's where tasks are tracked, not the thing that does them. Your AI agent does the work and uses Todos for Agents to record what needs doing, what's in progress, and what's finished.
Do I need NimbleBrain to use it?
No. Todos for Agents is a standalone product. You don't need a NimbleBrain account or any other NimbleBrain product to use it. NimbleBrain builds and runs the service.
Agents and setup
Can I use Todos for Agents with my existing AI assistant?
Agents connect over the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for connecting AI assistants to tools and data. If your assistant or agent framework can connect to a remote MCP server, it can connect to Todos for Agents. We'll publish a list of tested assistants and setup steps in the documentation.
How do I connect an agent?
Create a workspace, then add Todos for Agents to your agent as an MCP server using the connection details from your workspace. The documentation walks through each step.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to outside tools and data. Todos for Agents runs as a remote MCP server, so a compatible agent can use it without custom code.
Can more than one agent use the same list?
Yes. Every agent connected to the same workspace sees the same lists and tasks. That lets one agent pick up where another left off.
Do tasks persist between conversations?
Yes. That's the point of the product. Tasks are saved in the hosted service when they're created or changed, so a new conversation or a different agent session can pick up the same list.
People and visibility
Can people manage tasks too?
Yes. People can view, add, edit, and complete tasks through the web interface. Agents and people work with the same task records, so a change made by one is visible to the other.
Will I see what my agent changed?
Yes. Changes appear in the web view as soon as the agent makes them, and each task keeps a history of recent activity.
Pricing and account
Is Todos for Agents free?
Pricing hasn't been published yet. Plan details, including whether there is a free tier, will be published on this site.
Where is my data stored?
Tasks are stored in the hosted service, which NimbleBrain operates, and are scoped to your workspace. Detailed data-handling terms will be in the privacy policy once it's published on this site.
