How to create goals in Curi?

Curi provides a dedicated Goals page designed to help you create, manage, and track your goals effectively. Whether you’re setting professional targets or organizing personal tasks, Curi ensures that your goals follow the SMART criteria—meaning they are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. This structured approach helps to bring clarity and focus to your goal-setting process.

You have the flexibility to create goals in multiple ways, depending on where you are in the app.

Creating a Goal From Curi Home

You can create a goal directly from Curi Home by using the large AI-generated buttons located at its center. These buttons are designed for easy access and navigation, adapting to your preferences and ongoing tasks.

To refresh the available options, click on the large button with a star icon at the top. Upon refreshing, you may find an option to “Create a New Goal.” Selecting this option will open the Add Goal overlay, where you can create and customize your goal with Curi AI or switch to manual goal creation.

Creating a Goal from Inside a Room

If a goal is directly related to an ongoing discussion in a room, you can create it from within the room itself. To do this, access the room’s contextual menu by tapping on the three-dot icon in the upper-right corner of the room and selecting the “Goals” option. An overlay will open, displaying all existing goals associated with that room. This feature allows you to track tasks or milestones related to a specific room conversation seamlessly. At the bottom of the overlay, you will find an option to Create a new goal. Once you click the “Create a New Goal” button, a new overlay will open for you to add a goal.

Creating a Goal from the Goals Page

For a more centralized approach, you can navigate to the Goals page, which serves as a dedicated space for goal management. To access it, go to the More page by clicking on the “More” button in the bottom navigation menu of the app. From there, select the “Goals” option, which will direct you to the Goals page.

If you haven’t created any goals yet, the interface will display a prominent “Add Goal” button in the center of the page, making it easy to get started. If you already have existing goals, the “Add Goal” button will still be accessible at the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Regardless of the method you choose or where you initiate the process in the app, the Add Goals overlay will open, initiating the goal creation process.

How Curi AI Assists in Goal Creation

Curi AI is designed to make goal-setting more intuitive and structured by guiding you through the process step by step. Once you initiate goal creation, Curi AI engages with you in a dedicated chat interface tailored specifically for goal planning within the Add Goals overlay.

Curi AI prompts you with meaningful questions to help to refine and structure your goal effectively:

It first asks you to describe your goal, ensuring that you clearly define what you want to achieve.

As you provide details, Curi AI encourages you to make the goal specific and measurable, prompting you to think about concrete outcomes.

It then asks about the actions required to achieve the goal, helping you break it down into practical steps.

To ensure feasibility, Curi AI guides you to assess the achievability and relevance of the goal within your current priorities.

Finally, it prompts you to set a timeframe or deadline, ensuring that the goal remains actionable.

Based on your inputs, Curi AI generates a structured summary of your goal. It organizes your responses into a well-defined goal title, a specific description, measurable outcomes, action items for each concrete outcome, and a time constraint. This summary ensures that your goal is clearly documented and easy to track. Before finalizing, you have the option to review and refine each component, making adjustments if needed. After making required changes you can save the goal, which will later appear on the goals page.

Manual Goal Creation

While Curi AI offers a guided approach to goal-setting, you also have the flexibility to create a goal manually if you prefer a more direct method. The “Add Goal Manually” option is available at the bottom of the Add Goals overlay.

Selecting this option opens a new overlay where you can enter:

  • The goal title
  • A detailed specific description
  • Measurable outcomes
  • Specific action items for each Measurable outcomes
  • The goal’s relevance and a deadline

This option gives you full control over defining your goals while still following the structured approach that Curi promotes. If you prefer AI guidance, you can switch to AI-assisted goal creation at any time by selecting the “Create with Curi” option at the bottom of the overlay.You can then click on the “Save changes” option to save your goals.

Once your goal is saved, it becomes part of your Goals page, where you can track its progress and make updates as needed. Each goal on the Goals page includes a progress indicator, offering a clear visual of your overall progress. The indicator updates dynamically, reflecting the completion of action items associated with each measurable outcome. As you mark action items as complete, the progress indicator advances, giving you an accurate representation of how close you are to achieving your goal.
