## The problem

The blank page wins most afternoons. Every minute of staring makes it worse.

## How Plexii handles it

When you open a high-stakes desk you have not started, Plexii asks what would make it 10% easier and offers a five-minute start. Draft with AI writes from your description, and nothing goes in until you insert it.

This uses Plexii’s AI, which runs on Plexii credits or your own Anthropic key.

In short: When a task feels too big to begin, Plexii asks what would make it 10% easier and gives you five minutes to start. Often, five is enough to get going.
