Pluto

Inspiration

I often find myself overwhelmed by traditional to-do apps — they expect structure, organization, and constant input, even when my mind isn’t in the right state. At the same time, I know that small, meaningful actions — especially hobbies — help improve my mental well-being.

Pluto.ai was born out of this tension: a need for a to-do list that feels more like a conversation than a checklist. One that listens first, understands your mood, and gently guides you back to the things you care about.

What it does

Pluto.ai is a conversational to-do app powered by AI. Instead of manually creating tasks, you simply talk to it — and it responds with personalized suggestions based on your thoughts and emotional state.

The app tracks your mood daily and shows a visual history of how your feelings and activity have flowed over time. Tasks appear as animated bubbles, making the experience light and emotionally engaging. A calendar mode is available for users who want structure.

How we built it

The project was built using:

HTML/CSS/JavaScript for frontend interactions
OpenAI API for natural language understanding and task generation

Challenges we ran into

Designing an interface that feels emotionally supportive, not clinical
Making task suggestions feel personal and not generic
Creating bubble physics and mood-tracking graphics without cluttering the experience
