Summary

We want to ask further questions about integrations and the concept of reward in productivity apps.

Why do people want integrations?

• WhatsApp chat bots for companies means you can use a tool you commonly use, its easy.
• Good integrations reduce context switching.
• People have an ecosystem of apps that make up their productivity system.
• So many possible sources of todos and nowhere to get an overview of your whole day.

Questionnaire

We’re setting out to build the best productivity app ever, a revolutionary way of managing our lives.

We’ve used many productivity apps over the years (todo apps, habit-building apps, outliner apps, calendar apps) and while we appreciate the benefits they’ve given us, we have still found them lacking in one way or another.

We want an app that:

• Understands us as individuals and gives us a personalised experience
• Helps us to focus on what is most important to us
• Proactively tries to help us rather than passively following our instructions
• And teaches us about productivity as we use it

We've already had some great feedback from you but we'd like to ask a few follow-up questions about integrations and the concept of reward in todo apps.

If you’d like to stay up-to-date with our progress then you can subscribe to updates on our product page 🚀

We're happy with these questions so I'll create a new Helio test and share it during the week.

@pragyandas I've created the test, could you give it a quick review before I share it?

Review:

• "If it has not already been mentioned please could you briefly describe your ideal integration?" is a required question, should it be optional ?

Rest, LGTM! 🎉
