After the demo lunch, their progress stopped, and many bugs were still left over. Unfortunately, what was promised to early customers was not implemented. It could have been a better investment.
**MindGenie: A Cautionary Tale of False Promises and Poor Service** BUYER BEWARE!! Despite its promises of AI-driven task management and seamless Google Calendar integration, the reality is far from what's advertised. I suspect they've paid for fake reviews and coverage. Why do I find this tool so utterly useless? 1.) AI That Misses the Mark MindGenie claims to employ AI to help you manage your tasks efficiently. However, the AI doesn't even acknowledge due dates. Instead, it arbitrarily spreads your tasks in a manner that's sure to make you miss deadlines. So much for intelligent planning. 2.) Inaccurate Time Estimates The tool provides time estimates for tasks that are wildly off. What's worse? You can't manually adjust these estimates, leaving you stuck with unrealistic timelines. 3.) Confusing Gcal Integration The touted Google Calendar integration is anything but intuitive. You'll have to dig through blog posts to figure out how to set it up, which is far from user-friendly. 4.) [The] Customer [is always wrong] Service I reached out to their customer service within 24 hours signing up for the service to express my dissatisfaction and request a refund. Their response? A flat-out refusal, stating that I "made the purchase voluntarily." It's clear that customer satisfaction is not a priority. Filing a chargeback as this is false advertisement on all counts. Needless to say, MindGenie is a tool that fails to deliver on multiple fronts—from its ineffective AI to its "the customer is always wrong" service. Don't waste your time or money; there are far better options out there.
As an engineer who lives in an active office life, I started using it to divide my to-dos into daily tasks and plan my day more efficiently. Although it has just been released, I got very efficient results. Pros; It gives reasonable estimated times for the tasks I added to the calendar. It schedules tasks in the most efficient way possible during the day. The importance of the tasks can be selected by the user and the calendaring works very properly according to this. Simple and user-friendly interface. Cons; The user cannot add tasks with the timings of his/her choice. When I sent it as feedback, they said that this is one of the features they plan to add at the first opportunity. Thank you for their interest. It is a good initiative to use artificial intelligence in daily planning. It looks like I will continue to use it if it continues to develop.
