# How to Use AlertyAI

> Daily workflow from task capture to completion.

## 1) Sign in and set your baseline

After installation, sign in with Google and confirm notification permissions.
This ensures reminders can trigger reliably.

## 2) Create tasks using the fastest input method

Choose based on context:

### Voice capture

Use this while moving or multitasking.
Example: *"Prepare sprint summary Friday 5 PM."*

### Image-to-task

Use this for whiteboards, meeting notes, and screenshots.
Upload an image and review extracted tasks before saving.

### Smart text input

Type naturally and let AlertyAI parse title/date/time.

### Manual mode

Use this for precision edits and edge cases.

## 3) Set reminder timing

For time-bound tasks, choose one reminder policy:

* **At time of event**
* **10 minutes before**
* **30 minutes before**
* **1 hour before**

## 4) Run your daily execution loop

* Open your task queue in the morning
* Complete, defer, or edit tasks as context changes
* Use reminders only for tasks with real time sensitivity
* Keep capture quick; refine only when needed

## 5) Team usage basics

* Keep task titles action-first and specific
* Avoid duplicate reminders for the same event
* Use short descriptions for handoffs
