Break down the big stuff
Ask JARVIS to turn “sort out my career” into one small, concrete next step.
An open invitation · Concept stage · Built with curiosity
What if getting things done felt a little more like playing a game?
We're exploring an ADHD-friendly life RPG: a personal AI companion that helps you turn overwhelming plans into manageable quests, see your progress, and build a system that works with your brain—not against it.
Not a product launch. Not a medical intervention. An early idea looking for real human feedback.
01 / The problem we're exploring
Some days, the hardest part is starting.
A conventional to-do list can tell you what needs doing without helping you decide where to begin. We're curious whether a more visual, conversational and playful interface could make planning and follow-through feel less overwhelming for some people.
See progress, not perfection
Track missions, milestones and XP without pretending life is a competition or that every day must be productive.
Talk it through
Use an AI companion to clarify priorities, remember chosen goals and reflect on what did—or didn't—work.
Make room for real life
Allow rest days, changing priorities and imperfect streaks. Missing a task shouldn't make you feel punished.
Keep your life yours
Explore private-by-default profiles, meaningful consent, clear data controls and the ability to leave with your information.
Test, learn, iterate
Find out which features are actually useful before claiming that gamification or AI improves anyone's life.
02 / A possible experience
Meet your future cockpit.
Picture signing in with Google and finding a private character sheet, a few quests that matter to you, and your own JARVIS ready to help.
- Your character: progress based on your own chosen goals, not arbitrary comparisons with strangers.
- Your quests: one actionable step at a time, with the option to change course.
- Your JARVIS: a conversational assistant that helps you organise, reflect and plan.
- Your pace: no shame-based streaks, public leaderboards or compulsory sharing.
This is a design illustration. Features are proposed, not currently promised.

03 / Why ADHD?
Designed with neurodivergent experiences in mind. Open to everyone.
People with ADHD can face difficulties with task initiation, planning, working memory and maintaining attention, though experiences vary widely. We're interested in designing tools that respond to those challenges without reducing anyone to a diagnosis. People without ADHD may find similar features useful too.
The question isn't “How do we make people more productive?” It's “Can we build an interface that makes chosen actions easier to begin and more satisfying to sustain?”
Important: This is an exploratory productivity and self-organisation concept, not an ADHD diagnostic tool, treatment, or substitute for professional care. We have not established clinical effectiveness. AI can make mistakes and should not make healthcare decisions for users.
04 / Help us build something useful
Before we build more, we'd rather listen.
Whether you have ADHD, suspect you might, support someone who does, or simply struggle with conventional productivity apps, we'd value your perspective.
What makes ordinary to-do lists frustrating for you?
Would XP and quests motivate you—or create pressure?
What should an AI assistant never do?
What would make this worth opening tomorrow?

05 / Who's behind this?
Built from a question, not a diagnosis.
I'm Sahil Tayal. My work explores agency, behaviour, learning and the gap between what we intend to do and what we actually do. I'm experimenting with a personal AI cockpit and wondering how some of its ideas might help others. This page is an invitation to challenge the assumptions before the concept becomes a product.
The personal HQ is a private prototype, not an open public beta.
