So let's say you could put your task maybe like "Do work report", and it helped you break down a clear task definition with the prompting and suggestion buttons to get you to a specific definition you're happy with like "Write a 2 paragraph introduction of the work report with financial data in 1 hour".
Then you can get an estimate of the priority of that task relevant to other tasks, maybe through some sort of "list out other tasks" coach responses, and then it organizes them into a visual block display that gives you estimated priorities by the AI. You can then edit those priorities by visually dragging the task blocks around to decide your order. Once you're done, it automatically sets outlook meetings with you to complete the tasks.
Do you think a workflow like that would benefit you?
I like those two ideas. We were thinking of similar calendar functionality and then a todo list that's generated as you talk with the coach. Some other ideas I had were - speech to mindmap brainstorming (i like to speak and see visual output)
- simplify cooking recipes to the smallest pieces (get 3 eggs, and come back, etc..)
- open up a widget to put your phone # for accountability where someone calls you
- open up FocusMate body doubling session
- email visual drag and drop builder (i hate sending emails)
- you put money into a virtual piggy bank and it gives you access to the money if you send an image or something or a completed task (kinda like beeminder but you hide the money behind completing a task)
- discord bot version that has emojis as the suggestion buttons to click
We're trying to work more on our personalization aspect to differentiate ourselves from ChatGPT so as you keep using the app, it is a lot more streamlined to know what you need. Thanks for your thoughts!
However, shouldn't the aim be towards empowering an individual towards the human condition that they desire? Of course, within the constraints of the allocated resources that society can provide. That search to enable self-actualization and purpose for people can inherently come with tasks that are... well boring.
Sending an email that is critical to fostering an important business connection can sometimes be a chore. But it's important. People with ADHD especially struggle with this, as they thrive on brains that crave stimulation. Many live very unsatisfying lives (higher rates of unemployment, depression, divorce) as a result of this.
In many cases, it can feel as if you're a prisoner to your mind. You don't feel like you have the agency to live the life you want. And why? Because of some executive function deficits? Why not use technology as a way to externalize these cognitive management malfunctions?
I enjoy Gena Gorlin's idea of the Builder's Mindset that explores this viewpoint in more detail: https://builders.genagorlin.com/p/a-different-and-better-way...
I believe we should attempt to ruthlessly search for a life that aligns with our desired human condition.
I'd like to know your thoughts!
