Do your planning on paper, snap a photo, and let AI turn your handwritten brain dump into organized, assigned tasks in your project tool: AI agent prompt
On Oct 29, 2026 a founder posted on X that after a 30-minute pen-and-paper brain dump, he sent a photo of the page to Claude, which transcribed and organized everything and understood the shorthand and acronyms used in his business. It then created Linear issues for every item so his AI agents could pick them up. The prompt below lets anyone keep thinking on paper and still end up with a clean task list in the tool they already use.
The prompt
Here is a photo of my handwritten notes from a planning session: [attach photo]. I run [describe your business in one line]. Shorthand I use: [e.g. 'CL' = client, 'Q4' = October to December, initials of team members]. 1) Transcribe the page exactly, and mark any word you can't read as [unclear] instead of guessing. 2) Organize everything into: tasks, decisions made, ideas for later and questions to answer. 3) For each task, write a clear title, a one-line description, who should own it ([names]), a suggested due date and priority (high, medium, low). 4) Show me the list and ask about anything unclear. After I confirm, create each task in [Linear, Asana, Trello, Todoist, Notion, Google Tasks] in the [project or list name], and give me a summary of what you created with links.

Before you use it: what to check
Check yourself
