PREVIEW
Meet Tödo
Tödo are AI-powered, AR-driven task reminders that seamlessly integrate into your living environment. Using artificial intelligence and AR technology, Tödo understand your space—recognizing tasks like washing dishes or watering plants—and provide timely, contextual nudges to help you stay on top of daily life.
CHALLENGE
Traditional home assistants
are stuck in the old paradigm.
They feel transactional instead of intuitive. They don’t integrate with your physical environment in meaningful ways. Many home assistants today follow a similar pattern—they respond to commands, provide information, and control smart devices.
COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS
The Paradigm of Home Assistants
Most home assistants today follow a familiar pattern—they respond to transactional commands and provide generic information. We saw an opportunity to make this experience more personal and collaborative.
OPPORTUNITY
How might we design a home system that creates a more connected and personalized response ?
FINAL DESIGN
Tödo
By integrating AI and AR, Tödo moves beyond isolated tools to create deeply connected, intuitive systems that enhance everyday life. Tödo understand your space—recognizing tasks like washing dishes or watering plants—and provide timely, contextual nudges to help you stay on top of daily life.
Companionship
Tödo are not just your assistants—They're a part of your space. They’re your cohabitants!
Intuitive
The Tödo seamlessly integrate into your home, adapting to your routines without disrupting your rhythm.
Support
Tödo is there to gently guide you toward completing tasks, supporting your wellness without ever feeling overwhelming.
The Tödo task force is custom to you.
Tödo is plural, there's not just one Tödo, but a team to help you with specific tasks based on what you need to work on the most, examples include daily meditation or doing dishes.
But how does Tödo know?
When you first meet Tödo, they’ll explore your space and observe your routines for one week. Using your AR headset, they scan key areas, recognizing furniture with AI and storing a 3D model of your home. You’re always in control—customize what Tödo can access, and edit or delete memories anytime to protect your privacy.
A presence that evolves with you.
As the tödo learn your habits, they adapt their presence based on urgency—showing up more frequently for pressing tasks, each in a unique costume for easy recognition. Completing tasks not only improves your routine but also helps tödo flourish, evolving the tödo home as you stay on track.
The Tödo Hub: A home that grows with habit!
As you complete your tasks, you are not only helping yourself, but you're also helping Tödo better their lives! Their house upgrades with your commitments to your tasks!
The Tödo hub also serves as a hub for customized settings including privacy and personalize interactions.
NEXT STEPS
Interacting with Tödo
Testing Tödo
Personalization plays a central role in Tödo, allowing the system to learn from our routines, preferences, and environment to deliver personal reminders. As it adapts over time, Tödo begins to feel less like a tool and more like a supportive presence. A next step would be testing Tödo in varied living situations—especially shared households—to understand how it responds to different routines, dynamics, and levels of interaction.
Can Tödo gesture?
Tödo appears every now and then, using gestures to gently remind us of our tasks—but what other gestures could it make? What gestures could we make to nudge Tödo in return?
