I was expecting this to just be another AI API wrapper, but I really like Neuro Tools. I’ve been given a whole alphabet to describe my brain, and I think I could actually benefit from using these tools. The most success I’ve had so far in changing my behavior has come through reflection, and I like that reflection is a key aspect of these tools. One idea for an additional tool would be to have a “reality check” tool. I often believe that I can accomplish an impossible amount of work in one day. It would be great to have a tool that helps schedule work in a more feasible way. So if I say, “I’m going to work on this paper for six hours today and eight hours tomorrow,” it would challenge that and say something like “Let’s start with accomplishing two paragraphs today and see what else you’re up to.”

Thank you so much for your kind reaction! Some people could argue this could just be an AI chat bot, and that's true, it could. But I really wanted to build a very specific set of tools with issues that I was dealing with.

I really like what you shared and added your idea to my feedback forum: https://neurotools.featurebase.app/p/new-tool-reality-check
