Interesting approach. I will try and see, if it helps focusing on building my startup faster.
Yash Ramchandani
@haribelafonte07 best of luck, we've been using it to focus more to be able to build Focus Buddy faster :)
Ashit Vora
Congratulations on the launch 🎉. Though I would prefer integration with other platforms like Google Cal, Notion, Asana, etc, I'm definitely trying it out.
Yash Ramchandani
@ashitvora thanks, Ashit. We have an integration on Google Calendar right now. We'll definitely work on the rest as well. Thanks for the feedback.
Shagun Mistry
Congrats on the launch! This is super useful! It would be even more perfect if it could be integrated into the devices ppl already have such as Google home
Yash Ramchandani
@shagun_mistry thanks for the idea, Shagun. Actually, we want to go much deeper than that. The Google Home is only there at your home. We want to be there anywhere you are working on your laptop. That's why we're going after a laptop-first approach.

@yashmr what about being there anywhere I am ... in general 😂. having this on my phone, or smartwatch, or toggled as voice assistant via my earbuds, would be life changing. but one step at a time!
Franck
Great project guys, congratulations for the launch !
Yash Ramchandani
@franckwebpro thanks Franck!

Congratulations on the launch! What a great idea, given one of the biggest problems of our time is attention. I just had some confusion watching the demo, it felt like I would be more distracted during my work if there was someone else by my side all the time, keep reminding me of other stuff that I have not got into? is this just me ?
Lan Nguyen
@adnan_sherif1 ah, that makes sense! thank you for taking time to respond, I didn't know there's a feature to time the checkins. Super helpful!
Micha Cassola
Sounds cool. How does it know what I am working on and whats done?
Adnan Sherif
Thanks for asking @michacassola Currently, Focus Buddy learns what you are working on and what's done through A) Conversations when AI checks in with you B) You speaking out your thoughts as they come up. C) When you manually update the Todolist in the UI Updating todo lists and keeping track of work is now more like the conversations you have with your co-worker as opposed to a task that you allocate time for at the end of the day or work session. On our roadmap we are also considering screen capture to make the process even more seamless.

This looks really cool! Going to give this a spin to have much more productive work sessions, and hopefully I can delegate random tasks that pop up in my head to Focus Buddy.
Adnan Sherif
Thanks, @adityamankare! Keep us posted on how it goes. We'll be working hard to keep pace with your mind!
Yash Ramchandani
@adityamankare Thanks Aditya! Let us know how it goes

Ridiculously helpful tool. Why? As a person who naturally thinks deeply, but has a hard time keeping on track, I’m constantly seeking out ways to hold myself accountable and improve. I’ve spent hard earned funds on coaches and have yet to see more practical, real-time results when I work with FocusBuddy.
Yash Ramchandani
@blake_weissman3 Thanks for the love Blake! It's been a pleasure iterating with you! Lots of super valuable feedback
