AI Engine

Task Parsing Algorithm

The AI engine analyzes task descriptions and generates structured subtask breakdowns:

// Example: "Build Dashboard"
{
  "subtasks": [
    { "name": "Design wireframe and layout", "hours": 3, "priority": "high" },
    { "name": "Implement component structure", "hours": 4, "priority": "high" },
    { "name": "Add interactive charts", "hours": 5, "priority": "medium" },
    { "name": "Style with CSS/Tailwind", "hours": 3, "priority": "medium" },
    { "name": "Test responsiveness", "hours": 2, "priority": "low" }
  ]
}

Risk Calculation Formula

Total Hours = Σ(subtask hours)
Corrected Hours = Total Hours × 1.4 (planning fallacy correction)
Effective Hours = Days Until Deadline × Hours Per Day × Energy Level
Raw Probability = (Effective Hours / Corrected Hours) × 100
Uncertainty Penalty = min(20, subtask_count × 2)
Final Probability = max(0, min(100, Raw Probability - Uncertainty Penalty))

Risk Levels

  • Low Risk (Green): 70-100% completion probability
  • Medium Risk (Yellow): 40-69% completion probability
  • High Risk (Red): 0-39% completion probability

Detailed AI Recommendations

This instance provides detailed recommendations including:

  • Specific hour adjustments needed to improve success probability
  • Deadline extension suggestions with exact day calculations
  • Task prioritization strategies for high-risk scenarios
  • Break scheduling to maintain energy levels
  • Project complexity assessments with granularity recommendations
  • Timeline-specific advice for tight deadlines
  • Success reinforcement for well-planned projects

// Change uncertainty penalty
const uncertaintyPenalty = Math.min(20, subtasks.length * 2);

// Modify risk thresholds
if (probability >= 70) riskLevel = 'low';
else if (probability >= 40) riskLevel = 'medium';
else riskLevel = 'high';
