LazyDay AI is a productivity website created by Adya Srivastava for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 3: Slow and Steady. The website's purpose is to help users focus on making small, manageable steps rather than overwhelming themselves with large to-do lists. LazyDay AI's features include: a brain dump for capturing all thoughts and tasks in one place; energy-based planning that adjusts to the user's current energy level; tiny tasks to break down large lists; progress tracking to monitor completed tasks; and a distraction-free design that keeps the user interface simple.

The website was built using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, and it operates directly in the user's browser without requiring a server or API key. Future plans include integrating an open-source AI model for more personalized planning, which would provide additional opportunities for community improvement and customization. The main goal of LazyDay AI is to reduce the effort needed to start working, making tasks feel more approachable, and ultimately helping users take one small step towards productivity.
