Hey Product Hunt! 👋 We're thrilled to introduce FocusBuddy.ai - your AI co-pilot for getting more done! 🚀💪 🧠 As a productivity geek and someone with ADHD, my co-founder and I created FocusBuddy to be the ultimate productivity companion we've always dreamed of. Here's how FocusBuddy works: • 🎯 Work on the right thing at the right time: As you co-work with the AI, it learns what you're working on, what's left, and what's done. It automatically keeps your to-do list up-to-date, ensuring you never miss a high-priority task. • 🤝 Check-ins that hold you accountable: Our coach checks in while you work, helping you talk through concerns, address perfectionism, and overcome barriers to getting started. • 📈 Insights into how you work: By being there as you work, the AI learns your burnout patterns, distractions, time estimation errors, and peak productivity times. It shares these insights weekly, with real-time coaching coming soon! 🌟 Our vision? We want to build an AI co-pilot that truly understands your tasks and helps you become more productive over time. It's not just about tracking tasks – it's about guiding you to hit more of your own goals much sooner. We want to make productivity improvement a tangible, measurable journey, like Strava does for running. By delivering insights at the right moment while you're working, we aim to help you make real progress in becoming more productive across all aspects of your work life. 🔧 How to use FocusBuddy: 1. Hop on focusbuddy.ai when you're ready to work 2. Start a coworking call with your AI buddy 3. Collaborate on task breakdowns, updates, and accountability 4. Get personalized insights to level up your productivity game 💻 Users are loving FocusBuddy for: • Coding sessions with fixed timeboxes • Event planning without overlooking details • Essay writing without overthinking • And so much more! 🙏 A huge thank you to everyone who's helped shape FocusBuddy. We've come a long way from a simple phone call to a full-fledged desktop co-pilot, all thanks to your invaluable feedback. We're beyond excited to hear what the Product Hunt community thinks! Let's make productivity fun, measurable, and achievable together. 🎉 Questions? Ideas? We're all ears! Drop a comment below or reach out directly. Let's revolutionize the way we work! 💼✨ #ProductivityRevolution #AIAssistant #FocusBuddy

@adnan_sherif1 Very interesting. I would be very interested in using this, if this had a Notion integration. Then I could use my existing task system instead of managing them on Focus buddy.
Yash Ramchandani
@adnan_sherif1 @souravghosh Hey Sourav, yeah we have adding integrations on our backlog. In the meantime, what you can do is just call Copy (in a very unformatted way, just copy all of your tasks). If you go to our website, right above your to-do list, you'll see a place where you can paste completely unstructured text and it can structure it and turn it into your to-do list. So feel free to try that.

Super interesting concept - will definitely have to try out the co-working setup. Do you plan to personalize the experience (e.g. tone of voice, speech style, etc.)?
Yash Ramchandani
@bathientran Hey Ba Thien! Yeah one of the features we'll likely add by end of year is coach personalities. So you can choose between someone that sounds, feels and coaches like: David Goggins (direct, inspirational) , or Marie Forleo (softer, constructive), etc

wow @adnan_sherif1 congratualtions on the launch, so you mean I actually do not have to write my todo list in my Mac's note app any more? does it integrates with other apps?
Yash Ramchandani
@adnan_sherif1 @bilalasif currently it doesn't integrate with other things, but we made it really easy to bring over tasks. If you just copy all your tasks from your notes app and go to Focus Buddy, you'll see a box right above your to-do list that says "Paste any data here". You can paste extremely unstructured tasks and we'll structure them and add them to your to-do list using AI.
