It's difficult to say without more context. It could be somebody talking about his schedule for the day; if so it refers to the immediate future.

The verb is simple present tense. The timing of the action is unclear. Use the continuous or future to make it clear.
"Today my brother helps me to brainstorm the car design."

Future tense: the activity has not started:
"Today my brother will help me to brainstorm the car design."

Present continuous: the activity might have started, but will continue for
