The starting point of any Cami tutorial is picking one thing you want to move forward right now. Cami keeps chat, goals, tasks, reminders, memory and miniapps together, and a first session does not require setting up every feature. Using “get back into reading” as the example, let’s walk the path from goal to task.

How does a proactive AI companion for daily life take part in your routine? In Cami, there are three ways in: sort out the goal through chat; confirm the next task and its reminder; bring actual progress back into the journal and later conversations. To learn more about this way of working, see Cami’s chat, reminders and memory. This article explains how to start through one concrete use; you still check the tasks and the time yourself.

Before you start, prepare three pieces of information

  • What you want to do: for example, finish the book at hand, rather than a vague “improve myself”.
  • When you will do it: give a rough deadline and the time you can use each day.
  • What counts as done: for example, finishing a chapter and leaving two sentences of notes.
Example request · rewrite to fit your situation
I want to finish the book I’m reading within this month, and I have ten minutes each evening. Help me organize the goal first, then find one step I can start today.

This is an example of how to phrase the input; check the actual recognition and results in the app.

In Cami, go from goal to task

  1. Install and open Cami, and describe the goal, your current situation and your constraints in chat.
  2. When the goal appears, check that it is accurate. Creating a goal and arranging a plan are different steps; do not take seeing the goal card as having a schedule already in place.
  3. Open the “Plan” entry on the goal card to view the small-step plan, check that the tasks fit your time, then confirm the arrangement.
  4. Go to your tasks to see today’s. If you want a nudge, check the reminder; check tasks off once they are done.

If you only want to note “read for ten minutes at 8 tonight”, start from tasks. Only things that need to move forward in stages need a fuller goal built first.

On first use, check these results

  • The goal kept your deadline and constraints, and the tasks are actions you can actually do.
  • Dates, times and reminders are unambiguous, and nothing conflicts with what is already scheduled.
  • Today’s task load is small enough that you will know how to continue afterwards.

Use the journal to write down what you read, what got in the way, and where to start next time. Memory helps keep goals and preferences; it cannot finish tasks for you, and it is not guaranteed to recognize every context correctly.

FAQ

Do I need to create many goals first?

No. Run one goal-to-task flow end to end, then add other things gradually; it is easier to tell which features suit you that way.

What if too many tasks are generated?

Check the plan first, tell Cami you have less time available or want a smaller scope, then review the adjusted plan.
