Check the title and detected details before adding the task. You can edit it afterwards. Normal capture does not need AI.
Capture from another app view
Use + in the top navigation to open quick capture, even during a focus block. On a computer, press C when you are not typing in an input field. Esc closes the window.
Dictate a task
The microphone button puts recognised speech into the input field. It does not add the task without review. Allow microphone and speech-recognition access when asked, then correct the text before adding it.
Availability depends on your device and browser. On iPhone, DoWat uses native speech recognition. You can type without granting those permissions.
Use AI assistance

AI can split tasks into smaller steps. Review the suggestions; they are only added after you confirm them.
Help me start suggests one small first action for a task without existing steps. You can ask for a smaller step or begin with a timer. The suggestion does not change the task's time estimate.
