Fair point. We have been working on this for several months in what I would call and academic manner. And for years prior in other experimental ways to see what does and does not work. And some on our team have experience with other mental health disorders such as PTSD in a medical college lead environment. However, I will be mindful of positioning Comigo as a medical treatment until further due diligence into the FDA approval process as a medical device (in our case software, but that's how they categorize it).

Ouch, OK, I need to work on how I present this! Harsh but telling feedback. Seriously, thank you.

Privacy and regulatory compliance are first and foremost before we publicly launch. We are having a discussion with a notable privacy scholar on joining us as an advisor. Any sharing of data will be optional, although hopefully some people will share (anonymously and encrypted) prompts, inputs, interactions, etc because it would be extremely useful for fine-tuning our model with collective and individual user data, in addition to sources of clinically validated data, to better help.

Ironically, that is the very reason I set out to create Comigo, because I think productivity tools as a solution for ADHD are BS. Especially given the massive cognitive overload the user interfaces create and the tedious process for creating tasks, organizing, etc, which are very difficult for people with ADHD.

BUT, point taken on how I am presenting the product. Clearly I need to rethink that and will.

Hi there, I'm the founder! I didn't catch all these comments right away!

I understand your point, and I truly believe in our mission. I'm driven by my own experiences with ADHD, along with my family's journey, I'm committed to making a real difference. We have a very strong team with relevant advanced degrees, 30 published AI papers, and meaningful collaborations in healthcare.

We moved quickly with a proof of concept in just a week, and we're in our 16th iteration now of what you could call and MVP—embracing Reid Hoffman's advice that launching early is key. And regarding my chosen semantics, I live by words of Yoda: "Do or do not. There is no try!"

Hi, we just started building a few weeks ago but have about 700 beta users. We are building the most effective specialized AI for ADHD. We're in private beta but feel free to see our site that links to our Chrome extension and try it out if it sounds like something you need.

I'm building something, MVP is up. Thought I would post here for eyes and feedback. Submit your email on the site if you are interested in a beta invite. Thank you.
