Task Genie

Task Genie is a smart command-line task manager that helps you organize, track, and break down your tasks using AI. It supports both simple and complex tasks, leveraging OpenAI to decompose complex tasks into actionable subtasks.

Features

• Add simple tasks
• Add complex tasks (decomposed into subtasks using AI)
• List all tasks
• Mark tasks as completed
• Delete tasks
• Persistent storage in tasks.json

How It Works

• The main entry point is main.py, which provides a menu-driven CLI.
• Tasks are managed by the TaskManager class in task_manager.py.
• For complex tasks, the app uses OpenAI (via ai_service.py) to break down descriptions into subtasks.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repo-url>
   cd taskGenie

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Set up your OpenAI API key:
   • Create a .env file in the project root:

     OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here

Usage

Run the application:

python main.py

Follow the menu prompts to add, list, complete, or delete tasks.

Example result

1. choose option: "2. to add complex task with AI"
2. add input: "prepare hot chocolat mug"
3. observe how taskGenie breaks it down into simpler steps on the purple box. :)
