Asking Danny to Prioritize
Let Danny decide what to work on first based on due dates, time estimates, and your calendar.
What it does
Danny can look at your entire task list and give you an opinionated ordering with reasoning. It considers due dates, time estimates, priority flags, and your calendar availability — not just what was added first or alphabetically. The result is a focused recommendation you can act on immediately.
How to use it
- Open the chat panel (click the chat icon or use the keyboard shortcut).
- Type
prioritize my tasksorwhat should I work on next? - Danny reviews your list and responds with a ranked ordering and brief reasoning for each item.
- You can ask follow-up questions:
"skip anything due after Friday"or"I only have two hours — what matters most?"
Example
You type: what should I work on first today?
Danny responds with something like:
"Start with the client proposal — it's due tomorrow and hasn't been touched. Then the code review since it's blocking your teammate. The dentist appointment research can wait until after lunch."
Tips
- The more context Danny has — due dates, time estimates, project assignments — the better the prioritization.
- You can constrain the recommendation:
"I only have 90 minutes"or"just focus on work tasks.". - Ask Danny to re-prioritize after you've completed a few items:
"what's next?"works naturally mid-day.
