About 2do

A to-do engine for people, machines and AI agents. Fast enough to pivot through hundreds of items in seconds, versatile enough to hold a CNC shop and a grocery list, and built to keep the plan your agents lose.

Made by Makina in Montréal, out of our own need.

Why it exists

Before agents: seeing exactly what to do, now

On the Cinedesign site, on any given day, we can see the not-done items for the home page, in the SEO subcategory, that have an attachment. Five seconds later, the same question for another page, or another topic. It stays that fast with 400 items in the list.

No other app could pivot in a heartbeat to show exactly what to do. That is why 2do got built, and since every view is customizable, the same engine gives you a quote view, a finance view, or whatever your work actually looks like.

Now: the plan, outside the conversation

Agents generate a plan, then forget it on any large task. A conversation is not a format for managing a list of things to do. Did the agent do it? Where are we? Following each task means reading, and reading, and reading a long conversation.

That leaves the door open for a new kind of product: an AI agent manager. It also lets several agents, from different companies, work at the same time with their work fenced — Cursor, Claude and GPT on the same plan, instead of three separate conversations that never talk to each other. A shared static file can fake it; an integrated platform is better.

What it does

Extremely fast, in the browser. Quick interactions, multi-browser support, nothing to install.

Unapologetically versatile. Combine several lists and topics at once, in one working view.

A whole world of customization. Fully editable views that get to the core of the task: see at a glance what is in progress, for a specific topic, under custom filters.

Template views per topic. Quotes, finance, design, or any custom requirement — several view templates, each shaped for its kind of work.

Time tracking and comments. Extensive time tracking and a comment trail on every single task.

Agents, embedded. Fully wired to ChatGPT and Claude to automate tasks and progress, with the possibility to summon an agent directly from a task.

Secured, and always logged in. Email and a code, no password to lose.

Entry by URL. Any system or process can post a new to-do. A machine or a quoting system can create and edit items on its own.

Every to-do is actionable. Events and templates attach to an item, so a row is a thing that does something, not a line of text.

Multi-device, multi-environment. Start on your laptop, continue on your phone, finish on the iPad.

Who it is for

A CNC shop

Each order on the website triggers a new 2do, with the 3D models, the specs and the job's options attached. Monday morning, the waterjet operator knows the job to do and has the material in hand — straight from the row.

A graphic designer

All the tasks for one design, with revision numbers and scope of work, shared with other designers right from the platform.

A full-stack developer

Atomized items per language, per page, per site and per feature, tagged bug or feature. At any moment you can see what needs to be developed on a given page, what the open bugs are, or what responsive issues are left on the home page. Several people — and several agents — can post to the same dev list.

A dentist

A list of items per client, clicked one by one, with progress and comments entered on each row. Then the same process starts again for the next client.

A household

Interactive lists for the house and the groceries, tracked as they are done, or repeating every week.

What it is not

It is not a git module tracking branches, needing a commit number or a date to close a task.

It is not a tool to spy on workers. It is for the worker. A manager can log in and see progress, but this is not Jira: nobody is force-fed items, and nobody is frozen in their work until something else is marked done.
