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 will give this a shot. So far it seems like a planning app that includes tasks that i think of . I need something that alerts me of calendar events or upcoming things so that I don't forget about them. The app tells me it can set reminders and notify me but I don't think that is true from what i can see here.
My first response to this is that it solves problems that I don't have, and ignores the ones I do have.
Organizing my day on paper is trivial. I'm also married to someone with a good partnership, and we offload different types of tasks to each other. She might enjoy having software assistants to be more productive, but I don't need that. I have her.
The trick for me is that it is important that my life be organized around engaging with things that I want to do. And thereby having my wants reinforce executive control so that I can do what I think that I should. This involves a lot of managing of my emotional state, and a lot of REJECTING of outside demands by the world that I conform to how the world wants me to be. I see nothing about this app that helps me do either thing.
Yes, yes, I know the idea of eliminating distractions so that I can focus. Honestly, that's crap that leads to disasters every time I try it. If I have positive motivations to do X, distractions are easy to set aside. If motivations are negative, I will be unable to resist creating distractions. And a straightjacket that prevents that leads to insanity.
Which returns me to my point. The key, for me, in handling ADHD is emotional tools to find positive motivations, and social tools to resist the world attempting to load me with tasks through negative motivations.
I've been actively trying to find ways to offload tasks to software assistants -- I've slowly been getting a bit more comfortable using siri. My first impression is that the results tracking will just be a report of failures and wind up causing disinterest in the application as a whole. I also am concerned that the AI may wind up placing demands on me that I may think I want in one moment, but don't wind up engaging…
It's easy to have them slip off the list and be forgotten about, or not be able to do small things to move them ahead and have that progress reflected in the task. But I desperately want this.
While I empathize that companies have to choose a release pathway that limits cost, I will not be a customer of a product whose release pathway is just a Chrome plugin. From where I'm sitting, that's less cost limiting and more customer limiting.
> a collection of small, simple, single-task tools, mostly designed to help neurodivergent people with tasks they find overwhelming or difficult. Most tools will use AI technologies in the back-end to achieve their goals. Currently this includes OpenAI's models. As the tools and backend improve, the intent is to move to an open source alternative..
> goblin.tools is offered free and available to all. It will stay free without ads or paywalls. Mobile apps of the tools are offered at a low price (on Android and iOS), which will help cover the running and maintenance costs so the website can stay completely free. Keeping the tools freely available in a convenient form is a foundational principle to us.

I wanted to use this but the privacy policy doesn’t give me much confidence. Are you going to be storing my prompts (and then later using it for training)? Medical data, especially mental health data, is pretty sensitive.
If the profit model requires a loose privacy policy then let me pay for an airtight one. This seems like the needed model for anything in this realm ongoing.

I personally want something at the level of Samantha from Her for managing my life. When I think about the data inputs needed to have an AI that effective, it's made me increasingly aware at how much I lack from tools like Google Tasks and reminders etc. for keeping track of all the things I need to do. It's easy to have them slip off the list and be forgotten about, or not be able to do small things to move them ahe…
The apparent stagnancy of Siri might be just that.
