The AI behind neurolist uses OpenAI's models to generate task breakdowns. AI output is best-effort guesswork — sometimes it's exactly right, sometimes it's slightly off, sometimes it confidently makes something up. When that happens, here's what to do.
First: don't trust it blindly
neurolist is a planning tool, not an authoritative source. For anything where being wrong has real consequences — legal, financial, medical, safety — verify the steps yourself or with a qualified professional. neurolist isn't responsible for what the AI suggests.
Fixing a breakdown that's almost right
- Tap a step to edit its text or duration.
- Tap the X on a step to delete it.
- Tap the + icon at the bottom of the list to add your own step.
- Long-press and drag to reorder.
Your edits stay on the task. You don't have to re-do them every time you open it.
Starting over
At the top of the list of steps, alongside the subtasks header, there's a small red delete subtasks button — it clears every step so you can generate a fresh breakdown.
Sometimes a tiny rewrite of the task title gives a dramatically better result. "Renew car insurance" vs. "Call Geico to renew car insurance by Friday" — the second is easier for the AI to plan against.
The AI keeps getting it wrong for similar tasks
This usually means your memory is missing context. Open the what neurolist knows about you screen and review the bullets — if a fact would change the answer, edit it in.
Example: if every cleaning breakdown assumes you have a big house and you actually have a studio, a fact like "I live in a small studio apartment" will resize the next breakdown.
Reporting a really bad output
Email [email protected] with the task title and a screenshot of the breakdown. I read those — they help me improve the system.
