(1) The App and the description seem just as relevant for a non-ADHD population.

(2) Relying on, and committing to, an app like this has high requirements of diligence for efficacy; in an age of extractive apps, users might doubt even promising apps, and be less prone to adopt or maintain. So there's a yawning participation gap.

Relying on AI for the interactivity/liveness to maintain participation could work, but actually then puts a lot of quality pressure on the AI. The first off tone could prompt escape. How do you scale QA for that?

So, I'd think this needs to be coupled with social factors: testimonials and community building.

Efficacy testimonials would distinguish this from other self-management apps. Allowing users to gift others the app would spread the word. Providing users an in-app way to share feedback could help with QA, particularly if it was validated by others' responses. e.g., "I don't like this phrasing. It sounds like x." reply: "yeah, others agree so we're working on that" or "we'll look into it" Maybe only people who participate diligently get the ability to gift the app to others (but I would steer clear of obvious incentives/kickbacks).

I think the killer feature would be dedication to reporting actual feedback. Admit that it won't work for everyone, require feedback on whether it's working, and post that feedback to all users. Then work on improving it, either by fixing the app or selecting users better. That would given people confidence and mitigate the loneliness. Users should feel that they're not only helping themselves, but helping others like them. To me that commitment to others often gets me over a momentary lack of commitment to my larger self.

Some really good stuff in here. - on testimonials. We have some early ones here https://testimonial.to/indy/all and a bunch of video ones that include the good and the bad (but not shared for privacy). i do like the idea of sharing all of it in a live place so people can engage though. something we'll look into - community building is huge for us. i'm on IG with 200K+ and we constantly throw free community events (live), e.g. last week we did a 2026 planning with 1,000+ ADHDers there - we’re also looking to include thumbs up/down around messages similar to other ai chat apps so people can provide more feedback around specific messages/outputs and for each chat interaction too! any other ideas welcome :)
