A Shared Cockpit for You and Your AI Agents

You ask an AI to plan your week. It gives you a tidy list. Then what? You copy it, paste it into a task app, reformat it, and the moment of momentum is gone. The AI lives in one window; your actual work lives in another.

Baton Board closes that gap. It's a dashboard designed so that what you do by hand and what your AI agents add land in the same place, in the same shape. You arrange the board; your AI fills it in. You both look at one picture.

One data structure for humans and AI

Everything in Baton Board is a widget on a single board, and every widget reads and writes the same underlying data. A task you type and a task an AI appends are identical kinds of objects. There's no separate "AI inbox" to reconcile — the AI's output is your board.

That's the core idea: a shared brain. The human edits the layout and priorities; the AI streams in tasks, summaries, and next steps; neither has to translate for the other.

Getting AI output into your board

Baton Board gives you several friction-free ways to move AI output onto the board:

• Bulk add. Paste a bullet list straight from ChatGPT, Claude, or any chat — one line becomes one task. It understands -, 1., and even - [x] done-markers, so a generated checklist arrives already structured.
• Right-click → send (Chrome extension). Select text anywhere on the web and send it to your board from the context menu.
• Clipboard capture (desktop). Opt in, and copied text can flow into your board automatically — handy when you're moving fast between an AI chat and your work.
• A simple append API. From the browser console, an extension, or a local script, window.batonBoard.addTask(text, source) adds a task with no reload. That's the hook your own agents and automations write to.

Every appended task is tagged with its source — human, AI, clipboard, extension, or bulk — so you always know who added what.

See what your AI has been doing

Because the source is recorded, Baton Board can show you the story of your board:

• Activity log widget. A timeline of who added what, when — human or AI — so an agent working in the background stays accountable and visible.
• Board-to-AI context export. One click turns your active board into a clean Markdown summary on your clipboard, ready to paste back into an AI as context. The loop runs both ways: AI fills the board, the board briefs the AI.

A private AI assistant, built in (Pro)

Baton Board also includes an optional AI assistant that works on your board directly — it can summarize what's there and propose next actions. It runs on a bring-your-own-key model: it calls the AI provider directly from your device with your own API key, so your prompts and key never pass through our servers. You get AI help without handing your board to a third party.

Real workflows this unlocks

• Plan with AI, execute on your board. Ask an AI for a project breakdown, bulk-add it, then drag, prioritize, and check things off.
• Let an agent keep a backlog warm. A background script appends incoming tasks via the API; you triage them on a clean board.
• Brief, work, re-brief. Export the board as context, ask the AI to reprioritize, paste the result back. Repeat.
• Watch the numbers while the agent works. Keep KPI and goal widgets on the same board, so the metrics update right next to the tasks the agent is adding.

Who it's for

• Daily AI users who are tired of copy-paste-reformat between a chat window and a task app.
• Builders running their own agents and scripts who want a clean, local surface to write tasks into.
• Creators and founders who plan with AI and want execution to live one paste away.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get tasks from ChatGPT or Claude into Baton Board?

Paste the list using Bulk add — each line becomes a task, and done-markers and numbering are handled automatically. You can also use the Chrome extension's right-click send, or the window.batonBoard.addTask() API for scripts.

Can my own AI agent or script add tasks automatically?

Yes. window.batonBoard.addTask(text, source) appends a task with no page reload, so an extension, a local process, or your own agent can write to the board directly.

Does the AI assistant send my data to your servers?

No. The built-in assistant uses your own API key and calls the AI provider directly from your device. Your key and prompts never go through us.

Can I tell which tasks were added by AI?

Yes. Every task records its source (human, AI, clipboard, extension, bulk), and the activity log widget shows a timeline of who added what and when.

Can I send my board back to an AI as context?

Yes. One click exports your active board as a Markdown summary to your clipboard, ready to paste into any AI.
