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.

What backend model does it use? (chatgpt or something local).

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.

The vast majority of startups will fail, but this isn't super-constructive feedback- you're essentially saying "I think this sucks"

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 with...leaving a bunch of stuff piling up.

The example of the presentation just sort of leaves it at "About the presentation ...", at which point it seems like the user is expected to ...tell the ai about the presentation. So I haven't really been shown how it solves any problem that I have.

Also remember that AIs are biased on the training set and you're targeting a minority of a population. It's probably not going to know "how" to speak to me, what tones actually work, etc.

I hope that all amounts to useful feedback -- I do really want an effective product to offload stuff to -- but if it's not effective, it has negative value in my life.

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.

I mean... It sounds like a cool idea, but could you explain what it is and how it works? The website is remarkably sparse, on mobile at least.

Can you explain how this is specialized for the needs of people with ADHD? How does it differ from a "general purpose" AI bot like ChatGPT? To me it looks like a spin for marketing.
