Todoist is cleaner than most productivity apps on AI training, but integrations and account-level tracking still deserve attention.
Todoist is strongest where optional AI stays contained and where users still get exports, deletion, and straightforward account control.
Its weakest area is the surrounding tracking layer and app ecosystem, not the task list itself, especially once integrations keep data moving.
