GOALS
Set a Goal. Know what to work on today.
Break company Goals into smaller Goals, then assign an owner and a due date to each final task. Pick what to work on now from your ToDos. Complete the work to advance the parent Goal. Your AI agents read and work from the same hierarchy.

What you can do with Goals, tasks & KPIs
- 01
Goal hierarchy
Connect company objectives to each person's next task
- Break a large Goal into smaller Goals and keep the parent and child relationships.
- Record the Ideal and Memo for each Goal. Your AI agents use the same information as context.
- Set owners and due dates, archive Goals or manage sharing from each row's menu.

Today's ToDos
Choose what to work on now
- Use the plus button on a Goal row to add it to today's ToDos, then move it from not started to in progress to complete.
- Due dates appear as a badge at the end of each row. A Goal due today is not added automatically. Goals added by a template routine go to the owner's ToDos on the scheduled day.
- ToDos you add stay until you complete or remove them, even after the date changes. Completed ToDos disappear from the list the next day, at 4 a.m. in your organization's time zone.

Everything you keep in Goals, tasks & KPIs
starts with Ask AI.
Open the menu on a Goal row and Ask AI sits at the top. Select it and Addness writes instructions that include the Goal's URL and how to work on it, then Open in Claude Code or Open in Codex starts the agent right there. The same menu on the Today's to-dos heading asks an agent to work through today's list in order.

Messages in a Goal's chat are also comments on the Goal. Conversations become part of the context for that work.
Explore Chat & huddles - With Templates & routines

Frequently asked questions
The Goal page shows ToDos from Goals alongside today's ToDos. You can work with both in the same list without separating them strictly.
Make it small enough for you or an AI agent to carry out. Interviewing 10 prospective customers is a task you can act on. Add the next Goals when results arrive; a complete hierarchy is not required in advance.
An AI agent connected through MCP can create, update and complete Goals, check today's ToDos, post comments and register deliverables. Ask it to define completion criteria and create the first 2 child Goals.
Use the completed Goals filter on the Goal detail page to include Goals completed today, in the past 7 days or at any time.
Let’s move forward.
Toward your goals, with Addness.
