FocusBuddy (YC S24) - Your always on AI executive assistant

Have tested the app and really love proactive ai for productivity - a game changer!

there are multiple gaps RN! 1. you need to stay online throughout your working time. the moment you get offline, call will end, and all the reminders that were supposed to be sent during that offline period are now vanished. 2. even if you get online after break, you need to start a fresh call. moreover, it will also not mention the task list that was supposed to be done during the time you went offline. 3. if you add multiple tasks, it can skip briefing you about multiple tasks, especially tasks with no time stamp. even you ask it to brief you all such tasks, it will again do the same mistake. this is my experience with this for only 5-7 hours. it feels like an untrained intern who needs classes to actually become an assistant. having said that, I loved how a small whisper is so accurately taken by the app. I would really like to have this app but the gaps to to significant to consider.

I remember asking my office bestie to be on facetime with me so she can remind me I have to complete a task and help me stay focused to finish all my tasks during those days when workload is more and mood is less. I feel focus buddy is going to be exactly that, just more AI, less human. More professional, less informal. Really good for people who are building their startup and might lose focus earlier than imagined.

Incredible product, I was way more impressed about the voice assistant, a bit more flexible and intuitive than I had imagined. The app UI and task management can be a lot better, I bet you already know this and this is an MVP, but Well done @adnan_sherif1 @yashmr on the launch.

Im amazed by the progress there’s been on the product since I got to try this out great job! Have you guys thought of implementing a way to have it make you more productive during your recurring routines?

Stellar team and product!

Fantastic productivity tool! Focus Buddy helps you stay focused and maintain an efficient work rhythm. A great solution for anyone looking to improve their concentration. 👍

Hi! Neat idea, I am someone who would like very tight controls over my productivity. On Firefox, I tried to Start a Co Working call and had an infinite spinner (could not launch call). Seems like that browser may not be supported. I then switched to Chrome and the Co Working Call launched. I talked back to the call - but the mechanisms to record voice do not appear to be working. Type does work. I typed in that I wanted to update my resume, and then followed up (when prompted, nice) with adding metrics. I did not see these tasks being synced to "remaining tasks" - but when I hung up, updating resume appeared... without the metrics section. However when I did hang up... the top section reads, "Connecting to call" with another infinite spinner. I think this would be an interesting product, but there are a few bugs that are preventing use and enjoyment.

Incredible product!n

Huge congrats to the FocusBuddy team on the launch today! I love the idea of having an AI sidekick on my calls to boost productivity. Quick question: Can FocusBuddy's AI also summarize key takeaways from my calls, or is that a potential future superpower?
