Ping — Turn emails and voice into actionable tasks

Meet Ping, a simple tool that helps small businesses manage tasks by speaking or snapping emails and turning them into actionable to-dos. If you feel like your inbox is a messy pile of errands, Ping promises to cut through the noise and make task management feel like less of a chore. It’s for busy solopreneurs, small teams, and anyone who wants to spend less time typing and more time doing.

In plain terms: forward an email or speak a command, and Ping creates a task you can act on. No more copying parts of emails into a to-do list or typing reminders into seven different apps.

Convert emails into tasks quickly

You get an email from a client asking for a quote. Instead of opening your task app and typing out the job, you forward the email to Ping (or snap a picture). Ping reads the message and makes a task with the important details. It can grab dates, attachments, and the sender’s info so nothing falls through the cracks.

Organize to-do lists through voice commands

Sometimes you’re on the move: driving to a delivery, in a quick meeting, or juggling a coffee and a phone. Say “Ping, create a task: call supplier about inventory tomorrow at 10 AM” and Ping will add it to your list with the time. It’s like hiring a tiny assistant who only speaks when you do.

Prioritize tasks based on urgency

Not all tasks are equal. Ping helps you sort what’s urgent and what can wait. You can mark tasks as high priority or let Ping suggest urgency based on keywords (like “ASAP,” “today,” or “deadline”). That way your team knows what must be done now and what can sit for a bit.

Integrate with existing email platforms

Ping works alongside your current email setup instead of replacing it. Whether you use Gmail, Outlook, or another major provider, you can forward messages into Ping or connect it directly. This means you don’t have to wrestle your whole workflow into a new shape—Ping plugs into what you already use.

Enhance productivity by reducing manual task entry

Manual entry is slow and boring. Ping saves time by automatically pulling useful info from emails and voice notes. Fewer clicks, fewer typos, and fewer forgotten steps. Over a week, those saved minutes add up into real hours of work you can use to grow your business.

It’s straightforward, practical, and built to cut down on busywork so you can focus on customers, sales, or whatever part of the day actually makes money.
