We're building WorkMode (https://workmode.net/) - a body-doubling platform for extreme procrastinators. In a nutshell, we connect with our users via video call to ensure they stay focused on their tasks. These video calls usually last the entire day. Think of it as "Focus/Productivity as a Service."
Replacing our productivity partners (body doubles) with AI avatars simply wouldn't work. The method's effectiveness relies on interaction with another human. We asked some of our users about this, and most of them said they wouldn't feel much pressure to work on their tasks if they knew a machine was watching them. In fact, most of them would feel horrible.
