Creating an AI Coach for ADHD
A personalized prompt for executive function support
I’ve recently been developing a theory that many people who are early adopters of frontier AI tools may also share a trait with me: they could have ADHD, or at least experience similar challenges with executive function.
I suspect this partly because I see this overlap in myself — I’m drawn to exploring new tech yet often find managing details and long-term planning a challenge. I also abhor mundane and boring work.
AI has really been a game-changer in these areas (Yes, I know AI and people overuse the word game-changer … but it really applies here. 😆)
In full disclosure, I may or may not actually have ADHD and have not been officially diagnosed at this moment, but thinking through this lens has given me a new way of seeing my relationship to AI and its potential for supporting executive function. I do not intend to speak for the ADHD community; rather, I’m sharing my personal exploration and how these insights might resonate with anyone facing similar cognitive challenges.
Although I haven’t been formally diagnosed, I’ve been fascinated by how AI could help support executive functions, which are often the primary cognitive hurdles for people with ADHD and also relevant for many who struggle with focus…
