This project provides a Python-based task management system that prints tasks to a thermal receipt printer. It targets users who want a tangible, physical way to manage their to-do lists, with features for extracting tasks from Gmail and AI-powered prioritization.

How It Works

The system leverages a Python agent to monitor Gmail for new emails, extracting tasks using AI for parsing and prioritization. These tasks are then printed to a thermal receipt printer. It integrates with various services like Slack, Calendar, and Notion through Arcade.dev, enabling a connected workflow. Duplicate detection is handled using vector embeddings.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: Clone the repository, cd into it, and run pip install -r requirements.txt.
• Prerequisites: Python 3.8+, a thermal receipt printer (USB), OpenAI API key, and an Arcade.dev API key.
• Setup: Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your API keys.
• Docs: Arcade.dev

Highlighted Details

• AI-powered task parsing and prioritization.
• Gmail integration for automatic task extraction.
• Duplicate detection via vector embeddings.
• Extensible integration with multiple services via Arcade.dev.

Limitations & Caveats

The system requires a physical thermal receipt printer and specific API keys for OpenAI and Arcade.dev to function fully. While it uses SQLite by default, an optional Turso database setup is mentioned, which may add complexity.
