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.
- digdugdirk 3y ago
  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.
- xrisk 3y ago
  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.
  - ghotli 3y ago
    For something like this the privacy policy should be rock solid first, product mvp second. The brevity of the one you have in place seems like you haven't done any work on gdpr / ccpa, etc. 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.
    - jasoncurry 3y ago
      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.

  > 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. I'm sorry, but that statement just irks me. If you're only a few weeks into development, how can you honestly say what you're making will be the "most effective specialized AI for ADHD"? It's an unrealized aspiration stated as an inevitability. I don't think stating that you're "trying to build" or you're "goal is to build" would be so irksome.
  - jasoncurry 3y ago
    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!"

    >I’m sorry No, don’t be sorry. The behavior displayed by this product and its creator can be at best described as offensive hubris, or more accurately I would describe the behavior as disgusting.
    - jasoncurry 3y ago
      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.
  - Tao3300 3y ago
    It smells like how crypto bros used to refer to "building web 3.0"
- thereticent 3y ago
  What are the cognitive assessments, and what normative data set do they use?
- chipuni 3y ago
  Cool. 1. What factors in ADHD is this product supposed to treat? 2. How are you measuring the effectiveness of this tool? 3. What other tools for ADHD are you comparing against? 4. How do you manage HIPAA protections? What physical, network, and process security measures are you using?
- 12_throw_away 3y ago
  "we just started building a few weeks ago" So, you've put "a few weeks" of work into your project, but nevertheless already feel confident that you can market it as a medical treatment. Why?
  - jasoncurry 3y ago
    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).

  The vast majority of startups will fail, but this isn't super-constructive feedback- you're essentially saying "I think this sucks"
kojiromike 3y ago
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.
- burnte 3y ago
  I'm in the middle of some AI startup telling me my clinicians don't need to do their own notes anymore if I pay $1000 a month for a Chrome plugin that records the session and runs it through some unnamed, unknown, undetailed LLM they run in Google Cloud, and they're acting like I'm stupid for having issues with it.
  - neteresy 3y ago
    It's totally unacceptable. These people are clearly only interested in making profits, and I would like to believe that they will hardly make any. I want to take them down!
  - ianbutler 3y ago
    I tried that idea back in 2015/2016 and physicians were just as skeptical then, with good reason mind you.
    - burnte 3y ago
      I WISH my clinicians were skeptical. One thinks it's perfect and is trying to overrule IT's reservations about the system.

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.
- shostack 3y ago
  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 ahead and have that progress reflected in the task. But I desperately want this.
  - euroderf 3y ago
    I'm seriously impressed by the level of integration across the Apple ecosystem. If they can find a way to hook AI into every corner of it, you might be able to approach the point where you get your wish. The apparent stagnancy of Siri might be just that.
  - overnight5349 3y ago
    I desperately want this. But yes, the amount of data required is insane. Just off the top of my head: - browser history - SMS and call transcriptions - calendar - passive audio stream from my phone - interactions on social media - my diary - my work, or at least commit messages It's a lot, and you'd need a pretty clever model in the middle of it to make sense of. I don't know much about AI today, but I get the sense that you could string together a bunch of different systems today to achieve this, but no one has done it yet. Also, if the dataset is exposed, it'd be an unthinkable privacy breach. Something like this has to run on dedicated hardware that you own. Feeding every intimate detail of your entire life into the cloud should be completely untenable.
qrio2 3y ago
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.
- tcmb 3y ago
  Can't your regular calendar already remind you of scheduled events? That particular function doesn't seem like it needs an AI.
  - thewataccount 3y ago
    From my experience with ADHD - calenders are excruciatingly hard to use consistently. Either it "takes too much time" or I completely forget I was trying to use a calender. Having a tool that can automatically add items from infodumps/todolists would be useful. I don't udnerstand the chrome extension part though.
    - lacrimacida 3y ago
      Keep an notepad file open; only when you remeber add stuff to it. At some point it will become a hardened habit and honestly much better than some AI crutch. There are better uses for AI in my opinion..
      - thewataccount 3y ago
        I have many files and many pages of an actual notebook. For the most part dates are near useless because I rarely refer back to todo-lists. I've tried todo lists but they just end up being a pile of todo items I never look at, get around to, remember what they're for, or don't have time/priority to do it. Obsidian helps a lot for actual notes. That's the only thing keeping me remotely organized. > At some point it will become a hardened habit and honestly much better than some AI crutch. There are better uses for AI in my opinion.. That's very true, what I would love to see is have it intelligently pull todo items from my obsidian notes. I'm personally not a fan of using AI for anything if it's not local though, especially with access to all of my notes.
tcmb 3y ago
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.
btilly 3y ago
I have moderately severe ADHD, and have good reasons to not use medication. 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.
- mrcncpt 3y ago
  I've never heard this take before but it makes a lot of sense. Do you mind clarifying the kind of emotional tools you refer to?
  - btilly 3y ago
    Mostly a lot of mind-body stuff to develop self-awareness, and adjusting my life, routines, and priorities to fit the needs that I find are not being met. I can ramble on for ages about it. But it is also a highly personal journey - what works for me won't for the next person and vice versa. However KNOWING that it is important is huge.
    - d4mi3n 3y ago
      I found your original comment very informative. Did you pick this up through your own experiences? Would love to hear if you’ve read anything in particular that helped you form a routine that worked for you.

  This is hilarious. If only I had some kind of app to help me focus long enough to download this app.

https://goblin.tools/About https://goblin.tools/About > 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.
- lacrimacida 3y ago
  How can free be sustainable? Data harvesting?
  - kristjank 3y ago
    Privacy policy says no data harvesting from the website itself. OpenAI (who provides the tools) is a different story though.

  with llama.cpp it's easier than ever too. i have used these models even just to vent about stuff or to rubber duck. it's pretty helpful, but i'm right there with you, local or nothing.
- overnight5349 3y ago
  Yeah, no way I'd ever trust something like this if it wasn't on hardware I control. You can't 100% trust some company to secure something this personal, but you know that you won't one day sell your personal diary to some ad firm. Plus, privacy isn't even the biggest concern. What do you do when the company hosting it goes bust? Or simply decides to not support it anymore, or randomly increases the price? The server in my basement has way less uptime than AWS, but I control what services it runs, forever.
neteresy 3y ago
Who could think that making you open the browser is a good idea to help people concentrate. They took the "release as soon as possible too seriously". A Mental Health App has to be created responsibly. This is unacceptable. It's Buggy and has GPT-3.5, We don't need a dumb assistant that causes more confusion. It started telling me that I have a meeting I don't, and a couple of other hallucinations. Made me lose time, and now I am angry! I will go back to "h.m.m" (a CLI mind map). If you don't have the money or talent to make the previous experiments properly before releasing, at least don't advertise it claiming that you help people who suffer from something.

Too limited as a chrome plugin. I need an ADHD app that works across devices and watches me from my phone/watch. If I have to go to my desktop then most of the value is missed.
falcolas 3y ago
I’m trying to imagine writing prompts for a chat bot after the novelty wore off, and failing miserably. This would be like every other “ADHD focus” tool, where after the hyperfocus on it wears off (during which I get no actual work done other than making lists and schedules and…), I never touch it again.
ThinkBeat 3y ago
As a person with ADHD I hate these fancy high tech super slick promo products / sites. They all appear to made by people who are do not have ADHD (might be wrong) but they figure they know what such people need. And that is yet another calendar / task list with some spices. they can use to go after grants / stipends etc. Aside from a privacy nightmare. Yeah I am giving a presentation to the board about this new confidential product and i dont know how to structure it > Tell me all about this new product and how it will work. > Can you tell me the name of the company and its stock ticker? They dont even say what the price is. Or how they monetize it. Or the source code Or ... I think the best way to help is to fund basic research,
- kalupa 3y ago
  "all you need to do is focus" is what I read when I see an "ADHD help" tool/article/lifestyle/pleasegiveusmoneyscheme about 90% of the time. not just that it's made by people that don't have adhd, but people that haven't even read the modern science literature on the treatment and condition itself. it's frustrating!

The first thing I look for when I see a new app in the cognitive space is the privacy policy. Here it is in its entirety (https://www.comigo.ai/privacy https://www.comigo.ai/privacy): * Information We Collect: We collect information you provide when you register for our Service, including your Google account data. This data includes, but is not limited to, your name and email address. * Use of Information: We use this information to personalize, understand, and improve our Service, communicate with you, respond to your requests, and enhance the overall user experience. * Sharing of Information: Comigo will not share your personal information with third parties. * Security: We prioritize protecting your data and have implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure its safety. However, no method of transmission or storage is entirely secure, thus we cannot guarantee absolute security. * Changes to this Privacy Policy: We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. I've been working on my own similar, local-first solution for several years, because I simply cannot introduce a significant external dependency to my mental stack. Behavioral data is some of the most sensitive and dangerous data to leak. There's irony with these types of apps: the more utility I can gain from them, the more risk I have should they introduce dark patterns, become defunct, or even make well-intended changes that break my personal workflows. The scenario outlined on Comigo's home page begins with the user prompt "Hey Comigo my board meeting is in 4 hours and I wasn't able to work on my presentation slides..." - a context-aware agent would certainly have pre-empted this well before the same day, right? Sorry if this seems overly critical. I have a lot of passion for this space, and there's a huge need, but there's something like 20,000+ "mental health" apps out there, and nearly every single one I've encountered has big red flags.
- jasonhansel 3y ago
  This policy says very little about what happens to the chat logs. In particular: will other humans (e.g. developers, analysts, etc.) have access to them? If so, I wouldn't trust it with anything.
overnight5349 3y ago
The entire content of this website is six bullet points and three or four sentences. You really need to do a lot better than that. It looks like the cheapest, shadiest, slapped together "I hooked ChatGPT into google calendar" project, same as all the other "AI" projects coming out these days. You've offered no compelling reason to use this, nor explained what it does or how it can help me except in the vaguest of terms. It seems to be an effort to game you into being a more productive worker, and not actually helping you live with ADHD. Additionally, while I very desperately want an AI personal assistant to help me manage my ADHD, there is absolutely no way in hell I'd ever use something that doesn't run on my hardware in my house that I physically control. Such an assistant would know literally everything about me, and that is not something anyone should ever trust to a company.
- fragmede 3y ago
  > It seems to be an effort to game you into being a more productive worker, and not actually helping you live with ADHD. Where ADHD leads to problems being productive despite having the intelligence to do the job, and that jobs tend to, y'know, fire you if you're not productive, and you go homeless without money, which you get from having a job, isn't helping ADHD people be productive the same thing? As far as your trust issues go, that's for each individual to decide. Some people are able to see past their cynicism and derive value from the products companies make.

  - overnight5349 3y ago
    > isn't helping ADHD people be productive the same thing? Sure, if you believe the meaning of life is working as hard as you possibly can for no benefit until you die. Real people in the real world have passions, desires, hobbies. Chores, relationships, responsibilities. We have lives. If you've ever met someone with severe ADHD, you'd see that it affects your life deeply and can greatly decrease your quality of life. And that's mostly because of the 'work til you drop' mindset. > As far as your trust issues go, that's for each individual to decide. Trusting companies who have over and over done everything they possibly can to turn your trust into money is not really a sane or logical stance to take. Giving enormous detail about your personal life, or confidential work data to a company that blatantly does not respect you or your privacy is not wise. So to sum up, you're mansplaining my own disability to me and gaslighting me about not trusting openai. Don't stop now, my 'shitty dudebro' bingo card is nearly full
thereisnojesus 3y ago
This doesn't seem to solve the executive function part of ADHD. I am reminded constantly about things that don't get done. Don't need another tool that does the same.

lyapunova 3y ago
I think it's clear at this point that hackernews types don't want to see these thin wrappers around ChatGPT anymore. It was a cool genre of hacker project in February, but I'm not so sure anymore. We are already dropping into the trough of disillusionment, and it hasn't been more than 6 months. which says a lot about the lack of inertia behind projects withe generic LLMs at their core...
robbiet480 3y ago
Recently found success in a similar way to what is offered here using Rewind.ai, specifically its Ask Rewind and instant meeting transcription features. For those in the comments here wishing for a on device solution, Rewind is fully on device and your data never leaves it except for Ask Rewind.
- callalex 3y ago
  >specifically its Ask Rewind >data never leaves it except for Ask Rewind This is why your comment is being flagged. You managed to contradict yourself with two sentences, while also presenting the tone of an ad.
jrflowers 3y ago
This is a good idea. A constantly available distraction with unknown usefulness is exactly what people with ADHD need. It really makes you wonder why “a bot that you can drop what you’re doing and chat with in the middle of any task” wasn’t invented earlier.

annie_muss 3y ago
First of all, I'm glad people are trying to come up with assistive technologies for ADHD. I applaud anyone who actually makes something and puts it out there. That said, a lot of "ADHD apps" are todo lists and planning apps. ADHD isn't a disorder of planning, it's a disorder of doing. I can make realistic, specific, achievable plans as well as anyone else, but when it comes to doing the work it often just doesn't happen. Literally yesterday I lost a freelance client purely due to my own procrastination. I had a sensible plan and didn't follow it. I don't want to just slam this app or other existing apps, so in an effort to be constructive here are some spaces that I think could be explored further to help people with ADHD: * Smart speakers. I use them heavily and they are a great distraction free computing device. "Fire and forget" reminders are great. I have a smart speaker in every room and can set a reminder to do something in 30 minutes time without having to move, find a pen, pick up a phone or distract myself in any way. * Emotional regulation. ADHD means you are on a rollercoaster of emotions that you can't regulate well. There are techniques for controlling them but when you are blinded with rage or bursting into tears you don't remember. Perhaps a device could constantly asses your emotional state and remind you of regulation techniques right when you need them. * Anything centered around positivity and forgiveness. An app that makes past successes visible without minimizing the impact of the disorder would be great.

This sounds good, but I am a Firefox user. The page does not really highlight a sufficient number of features. I would like automatic reminders more than anything, though.

As I always ask on these types of posts: since you're proposing a product to help treat a medical condition, have you conducted a clinical trial? Why not?
cookiengineer 3y ago
Honestly, this app feels like it was built by people that aren't by ADHD themselves, so they are targeting the wrong customer audience. I don't want to be rude, but it looks like it doesn't understand at all what stresses out ADHD people (at least from my perspective). As a primer: What stresses me out during the day: - reminders are useless, they lead to hyperfocus state and I cannot get shit done or focus on anything else before - calendar events are useless, in work life I try to have external dependent events as early in the morning as possible and hope the best to have enough energy afterwards - social events, even scrum video sync calls are draining energy, because rasterizing people's emotions is very hard. Especially in open office spaces, which is the reason why I am never in those. - if I am in an emotional state that does not allow me to work (mad/sad/bored/angry/overwhelmed), I need to find motivation to work with little and easy to fulfill tasks that have a low complexity in the scrum sense. Quick bug fixes, documentation tasks, writing tests etc. - if I am in an emotional state where I can focus (happy/excited/motivated/calm/focussed/hyperfocussed), I don't want to be distracted by anything else. I am usually listening to music without vocals because of that, because vocals, alerts and notifications are distracting. This app/extension does not respect that, and adds more to the sea of noise. The reason I use VIM as an editor for more than 20 years, and around 10 years together with i3 is mostly because of notifications. GNOME 3 got better for that, but blinking windows and notification bubbles on systray icons are still notifications, and are still distracting, so I made my choice to move away from GNOME to i3 because of that. With my current setup, I have zero notifications - for better or worse. The only app I allow in the systray is OpenSnitch (my firewall), anything else is not allowed to have a systray or background-running process. I avoid electron apps like the plague because of that, and I wrote helper scripts that automatically kill those apps when I close their windows. I even tried to submit a PR to upstream electron because of it, but nobody seems to care about this issue and they deleted it. A lot of electron apps enforce their UI decisions upon to you, which means that the UI frameworks, if not allowed to run in systray, render shitty toasts on the active screen - even when they are on another virtual screen. So yeah, the UX of "modern apps" is horrible from my point of view, because they keep ignoring my decisions to not want notifications. This includes Thunderbird, Slack, Mattermost, Discord and especially everything from Microsoft, like Outlook, Office or Teams. I cannot use Windows or MacOS because there's literally hundreds of notifications, popups and dialogs that interrupt my workflow. In every single UI, from IDEs to even the goddamn GPU drivers that offer me promos, now even in the Start Menu. WTF. At some point I tried to build a task planning app for myself to overcome mentioned issues with hyperfocus and external dependencies. I got it into a somewhat working state, but am out of ideas on how to make it more usable across multiple devices without having to have to host a web service that could add pitfalls. Would love to hear feedback if others like the idea, too. [1] [1] https://github.com/cookiengineer/agenda https://github.com/cookiengineer/agenda

It's a nice idea, but I suspect I'll use it once and completely forget it exists. Herein lies the problem with systems and products for ADHD, it relies on someone like me, with ADHD to actually remember to use it in the first place. That being said, I will play around with this and see what I think, but I'm coming from a place of scepticism with regards to apps and processes, because in my experience, I've tried probably hundreds of things, and they all went out of the window after a few days. I'm speaking from my own experience though, so maybe some folks with ADHD will get more out of this kind of thing

  For something like this the privacy policy should be rock solid first, product mvp second. The brevity of the one you have in place seems like you haven't done any work on gdpr / ccpa, etc. 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.
  - jasoncurry 3y ago
    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.

> 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. I'm sorry, but that statement just irks me. If you're only a few weeks into development, how can you honestly say what you're making will be the "most effective specialized AI for ADHD"? It's an unrealized aspiration stated as an inevitability. I don't think stating that you're "trying to build" or you're "goal is to build" would be so irksome.

  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!"

    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.

  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).

chrsig 3y ago

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.

shostack 3y ago
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 ahead and have that progress reflected in the task. But I desperately want this.
- euroderf 3y ago
  I'm seriously impressed by the level of integration across the Apple ecosystem. If they can find a way to hook AI into every corner of it, you might be able to approach the point where you get your wish. The apparent stagnancy of Siri might be just that.
- overnight5349 3y ago
  I desperately want this. But yes, the amount of data required is insane. Just off the top of my head: - browser history - SMS and call transcriptions - calendar - passive audio stream from my phone - interactions on social media - my diary - my work, or at least commit messages It's a lot, and you'd need a pretty clever model in the middle of it to make sense of. I don't know much about AI today, but I get the sense that you could string together a bunch of different systems today to achieve this, but no one has done it yet. Also, if the dataset is exposed, it'd be an unthinkable privacy breach. Something like this has to run on dedicated hardware that you own. Feeding every intimate detail of your entire life into the cloud should be completely untenable.

qrio2 3y ago

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.

tcmb 3y ago
Can't your regular calendar already remind you of scheduled events? That particular function doesn't seem like it needs an AI.
- thewataccount 3y ago
  From my experience with ADHD - calenders are excruciatingly hard to use consistently. Either it "takes too much time" or I completely forget I was trying to use a calender. Having a tool that can automatically add items from infodumps/todolists would be useful. I don't udnerstand the chrome extension part though.
  - lacrimacida 3y ago
    Keep an notepad file open; only when you remeber add stuff to it. At some point it will become a hardened habit and honestly much better than some AI crutch. There are better uses for AI in my opinion..
    - thewataccount 3y ago
      I have many files and many pages of an actual notebook. For the most part dates are near useless because I rarely refer back to todo-lists. I've tried todo lists but they just end up being a pile of todo items I never look at, get around to, remember what they're for, or don't have time/priority to do it. Obsidian helps a lot for actual notes. That's the only thing keeping me remotely organized. > At some point it will become a hardened habit and honestly much better than some AI crutch. There are better uses for AI in my opinion.. That's very true, what I would love to see is have it intelligently pull todo items from my obsidian notes. I'm personally not a fan of using AI for anything if it's not local though, especially with access to all of my notes.

tcmb 3y ago

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.

btilly 3y ago

I have moderately severe ADHD, and have good reasons to not use medication. 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.

What do you do when the company hosting it goes bust? Or simply decides to not support it anymore, or randomly increases the price? The server in my basement has way less uptime than AWS, but I control what services it runs, forever.

Who could think that making you open the browser is a good idea to help people concentrate. They took the "release as soon as possible too seriously". A Mental Health App has to be created responsibly. This is unacceptable. It's Buggy and has GPT-3.5, We don't need a dumb assistant that causes more confusion. It started telling me that I have a meeting I don't, and a couple of other hallucinations. Made me lose time, and now I am angry! I will go back to "h.m.m" (a CLI mind map). If you don't have the money or talent to make the previous experiments properly before releasing, at least don't advertise it claiming that you help people who suffer from something.

The first thing I look for when I see a new app in the cognitive space is the privacy policy. Here it is in its entirety (https://www.comigo.ai/privacy https://www.comigo.ai/privacy): * Information We Collect: We collect information you provide when you register for our Service, including your Google account data. This data includes, but is not limited to, your name and email address. * Use of Information: We use this information to personalize, understand, and improve our Service, communicate with you, respond to your requests, and enhance the overall user experience. * Sharing of Information: Comigo will not share your personal information with third parties. * Security: We prioritize protecting your data and have implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure its safety. However, no method of transmission or storage is entirely secure, thus we cannot guarantee absolute security. * Changes to this Privacy Policy: We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. I've been working on my own similar, local-first solution for several years, because I simply cannot introduce a significant external dependency to my mental stack. Behavioral data is some of the most sensitive and dangerous data to leak. There's irony with these types of apps: the more utility I can gain from them, the more risk I have should they introduce dark patterns, become defunct, or even make well-intended changes that break my personal workflows. The scenario outlined on Comigo's home page begins with the user prompt "Hey Comigo my board meeting is in 4 hours and I wasn't able to work on my presentation slides..." - a context-aware agent would certainly have pre-empted this well before the same day, right? Sorry if this seems overly critical. I have a lot of passion for this space, and there's a huge need, but there's something like 20,000+ "mental health" apps out there, and nearly every single one I've encountered has big red flags.

jasonhansel 3y ago
This policy says very little about what happens to the chat logs. In particular: will other humans (e.g. developers, analysts, etc.) have access to them? If so, I wouldn't trust it with anything.

overnight5349 3y ago

The entire content of this website is six bullet points and three or four sentences. You really need to do a lot better than that. It looks like the cheapest, shadiest, slapped together "I hooked ChatGPT into google calendar" project, same as all the other "AI" projects coming out these days. You've offered no compelling reason to use this, nor explained what it does or how it can help me except in the vaguest of terms. It seems to be an effort to game you into being a more productive worker, and not actually helping you live with ADHD. Additionally, while I very desperately want an AI personal assistant to help me manage my ADHD, there is absolutely no way in hell I'd ever use something that doesn't run on my hardware in my house that I physically control. Such an assistant would know literally everything about me, and that is not something anyone should ever trust to a company.

fragmede 3y ago
> It seems to be an effort to game you into being a more productive worker, and not actually helping you live with ADHD. Where ADHD leads to problems being productive despite having the intelligence to do the job, and that jobs tend to, y'know, fire you if you're not productive, and you go homeless without money, which you get from having a job, isn't helping ADHD people be productive the same thing? As far as your trust issues go, that's for each individual to decide. Some people are able to see past their cynicism and derive value from the products companies make.

  > isn't helping ADHD people be productive the same thing? Sure, if you believe the meaning of life is working as hard as you possibly can for no benefit until you die. Real people in the real world have passions, desires, hobbies. Chores, relationships, responsibilities. We have lives. If you've ever met someone with severe ADHD, you'd see that it affects your life deeply and can greatly decrease your quality of life. And that's mostly because of the 'work til you drop' mindset. > As far as your trust issues go, that's for each individual to decide. Trusting companies who have over and over done everything they possibly can to turn your trust into money is not really a sane or logical stance to take. Giving enormous detail about your personal life, or confidential work data to a company that blatantly does not respect you or your privacy is not wise. So to sum up, you're mansplaining my own disability to me and gaslighting me about not trusting openai. Don't stop now, my 'shitty dudebro' bingo card is nearly full

annie_muss 3y ago

First of all, I'm glad people are trying to come up with assistive technologies for ADHD. I applaud anyone who actually makes something and puts it out there. That said, a lot of "ADHD apps" are todo lists and planning apps. ADHD isn't a disorder of planning, it's a disorder of doing. I can make realistic, specific, achievable plans as well as anyone else, but when it comes to doing the work it often just doesn't happen. Literally yesterday I lost a freelance client purely due to my own procrastination. I had a sensible plan and didn't follow it. I don't want to just slam this app or other existing apps, so in an effort to be constructive here are some spaces that I think could be explored further to help people with ADHD: * Smart speakers. I use them heavily and they are a great distraction free computing device. "Fire and forget" reminders are great. I have a smart speaker in every room and can set a reminder to do something in 30 minutes time without having to move, find a pen, pick up a phone or distract myself in any way. * Emotional regulation. ADHD means you are on a rollercoaster of emotions that you can't regulate well. There are techniques for controlling them but when you are blinded with rage or bursting into tears you don't remember. Perhaps a device could constantly asses your emotional state and remind you of regulation techniques right when you need them. * Anything centered around positivity and forgiveness. An app that makes past successes visible without minimizing the impact of the disorder would be great.

cookiengineer 3y ago

Honestly, this app feels like it was built by people that aren't by ADHD themselves, so they are targeting the wrong customer audience. I don't want to be rude, but it looks like it doesn't understand at all what stresses out ADHD people (at least from my perspective). As a primer: What stresses me out during the day: - reminders are useless, they lead to hyperfocus state and I cannot get shit done or focus on anything else before - calendar events are useless, in work life I try to have external dependent events as early in the morning as possible and hope the best to have enough energy afterwards - social events, even scrum video sync calls are draining energy, because rasterizing people's emotions is very hard. Especially in open office spaces, which is the reason why I am never in those. - if I am in an emotional state that does not allow me to work (mad/sad/bored/angry/overwhelmed), I need to find motivation to work with little and easy to fulfill tasks that have a low complexity in the scrum sense. Quick bug fixes, documentation tasks, writing tests etc. - if I am in an emotional state where I can focus (happy/excited/motivated/calm/focussed/hyperfocussed), I don't want to be distracted by anything else. I am usually listening to music without vocals because of that, because vocals, alerts and notifications are distracting. This app/extension does not respect that, and adds more to the sea of noise. The reason I use VIM as an editor for more than 20 years, and around 10 years together with i3 is mostly because of notifications. GNOME 3 got better for that, but blinking windows and notification bubbles on systray icons are still notifications, and are still distracting, so I made my choice to move away from GNOME to i3 because of that. With my current setup, I have zero notifications - for better or worse. The only app I allow in the systray is OpenSnitch (my firewall), anything else is not allowed to have a systray or background-running process. I avoid electron apps like the plague because of that, and I wrote helper scripts that automatically kill those apps when I close their windows. I even tried to submit a PR to upstream electron because of it, but nobody seems to care about this issue and they deleted it. A lot of electron apps enforce their UI decisions upon to you, which means that the UI frameworks, if not allowed to run in systray, render shitty toasts on the active screen - even when they are on another virtual screen. So yeah, the UX of "modern apps" is horrible from my point of view, because they keep ignoring my decisions to not want notifications. This includes Thunderbird, Slack, Mattermost, Discord and especially everything from Microsoft, like Outlook, Office or Teams. I cannot use Windows or MacOS because there's literally hundreds of notifications, popups and dialogs that interrupt my workflow. In every single UI, from IDEs to even the goddamn GPU drivers that offer me promos, now even in the Start Menu. WTF. At some point I tried to build a task planning app for myself to overcome mentioned issues with hyperfocus and external dependencies. I got it into a somewhat working state, but am out of ideas on how to make it more usable across multiple devices without having to have to host a web service that could add pitfalls. Would love to hear feedback if others like the idea, too. [1] [1] https://github.com/cookiengineer/agenda https://github.com/cookiengineer/agenda

Herein lies the problem with systems and products for ADHD, it relies on someone like me, with ADHD to actually remember to use it in the first place. That being said, I will play around with this and see what I think, but I'm coming from a place of scepticism with regards to apps and processes, because in my experience, I've tried probably hundreds of things, and they all went out of the window after a few days. I'm speaking from my own experience though, so maybe some folks with ADHD will get more out of this kind of thing
