Buy This, Not That, Drop This There – I Made It Make Sense

Description and use

Nikal turns chaotic doorstep voice notes into a structured errand card that preserves cancellations, quantities, and destinations, letting the user review and confirm before leaving.

Problem

Rapid‑fire household errands are often delivered as noisy voice notes or mixed‑language messages, making it hard for the receiver to capture cancellations, quantities, destinations, and uncertainties without manual transcription and editing.

Outcome

Nikal turns chaotic doorstep voice notes into a structured, offline‑ready errand card that preserves cancellations, quantities, destinations, and uncertainties, allowing the user to review and confirm before leaving.

Workflow

• Capture the voice note or paste the original message
• Transcribe with ElevenLabs Scribe v2
• Extract errands, quantities, cancellations, destinations, and clarification questions via Gemma through Backboard
• Review and edit: cancel, defer, assign destinations, or confirm items
• Generate a pocket card grouping approved tasks by destination
• Mark items as done, unavailable, deferred, or unresolved outside the house

Evidence

"Bring 1 litre milk. Don’t buy bread—we already have it. Drop the parcel at the post office. And get three notebooks."
