I'd really love a voice based AI tool that will follow up with me on projects and next steps. So like I'm renovating a house and I've got to find someone to help with drywall, get a new top of the septic, get quotes on the driveway, etc. Multiply this a few times with my job and side project and so on. It would be great if it would just ask me what's new with each thing and update tasks and remind me to follow up with the person not calling me back etc. Of course, all this can be done in your mind or with Todo apps but just something to talk to and nudge would be great.

I’m on the same boat as you. Had this idea some time ago and I feel that this should be doable with today’s LLMs tooling. On the coming weeks I’ll be trying to hook something up and see how far can I get, with the extra requirement from my side that everything should run locally.

I use ChatGPT almost exclusively for this today due to quite extreme ADHD that even when treated, leaves me weaker than most in the executive department. My therapists have always advised that I have some kind of "second brain" where things live, otherwise they just vanish into the ether. Why use "AI" at all? Because now I have something to yell at me and ask if I actually finished the thing I said I would before jumping into some new thing. If I have not, it can give me a concrete next step to help me overcome the analysis paralaysis that may be preventing completion. I've worked hard to configure the thing so that it won't tolerate my bullshit. It is entirely structured around pushing me to function as a normal adult should. Yes its sad and pathetic I can not do this alone, how broken must I be that an "AI" is any level of assistance in this area etc. The idea I am sure seems ludicrous to 'normal people' who would never even remotely consider using it for such a thing. However it is what it is, and I would prefer the shame that comes with the extreme benefit I have received as opposed to the opposite.
