Open To-dos

Click To-dos at the top of the Jiva window. On me is what you owe. Waiting on others is what people owe you. Action items from your meetings land here by themselves.

Good to know

To-dos works without the second brain: you type or dictate, and meetings add their action items. With the second brain on, Claude also adds to-dos from your chat, email and docs, and closes the ones it sees are done.

If something goes wrong

Right-click it and choose Move to On me, or Change owner….

A to-do from Claude is not useful

Right-click it and choose Not useful. Claude will not add it again.
