Curious about your thoughts on homebuilt AI tools for dealing with ADHD side effects. I've identified a handful of habits I struggle with but want to do, and thought processes that can be challenging. I've planned to plug these into an LLM to have it do midday checkins about how I'm feeling and then respond in line with what I want to focus on.

Never occurred to me that something focused on symptoms instead of treatment could be harmful, but I suppose it's worth considering.

I don't know your tools, but if you aren't recommending them to others for money, then we're already in a different category.

But succinctly, if something can help you form habits, it can probably help you form bad habits.

bear with me for the tangent. And don't take what i say here as a reason you shouldn't try tools or try to build your own tools.

I used to try the Pomodoro technique it worked fantastic ...briefly.

Once the novelty wore off I stopped using it. It turned into an extra task I needed to do in order to do other tasks.

AI would probably follow the same trajectory for me unless you make it impossible to turn off.
