Shimmer 2.0 - ADHD Coaching, now AI-enhanced

Thanks @garrytan for hunting us! Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Chris, one of the co-founders of Shimmer (#1 ADHD Coaching Platform). I’m super excited to share what we’ve been cooking up for our next evolution: AI-powered coaching tools! ✨ Quick refresher on Shimmer: In 2022, I was diagnosed with ADHD. They gave me Adderall and told me to come back when I wanted more/less, but not much in the way of real-world strategies or support. That’s when we created Shimmer 1.0—a coaching platform pairing you with expert ADHD coaches who truly “get it.” We’ve since powered over 45,000+ coaching sessions, improving the experience every step of the way based on feedback from our amazing members. Now, we’re introducing Shimmer 2.0: AI-enhanced features woven directly into your coaching journey: - AI Summaries of Coaching Sessions: Never forget an “aha” moment - Contextual, Action-Oriented Insights & Support: Get Insights on what’s working and not working between sessions, so you can course correct - Smart Search Across Your History: Quickly recall past breakthroughs, see recurring themes, and find what works best for you These AI features are only available with 1:1 coaching. We believe the heart of transformation lies in human connection—your coach remains the star player. Our new AI tools simply *amplify* that experience, making your coaching journey more accessible, insightful, and action-driven. We’d love for the Product Hunt community to try it out and let us know what you think! ❤️ --- ❗ A few disclaimers, Shimmer: - is NOT a medical service or a substitute for therapy/medical advice - is for adults with ADHD who want practical, goal-oriented changes in their life - doesn’t require a formal diagnosis (though if you’re curious, check out the WHO quiz here: https://www.shimmer.care/adhd-ov...) --- 💰 On Pricing & Packages - Starting at $58/week (or $40/week for your 1st month for Product Hunt!) - All packages include full app access + support services Feel free to drop any questions below, and thanks again for checking us out!

As someone with ADHD, I love this. Especially the fact that AI is being used to amplify, not fully take over the value of a human coach and human connection. Go Shimmer team!!! ✨

Finally something where AI can contribute to improving health :) I am a fan of this :) Good luck Christal and the team! :)

as someone diagnosed with ADHD a year ago, super intrigued! but the price point is a lot for someone like me who comes from a country like india. maybe try having more inclusive pricing options for people from other regions of the world?

Hey everyone! As Shimmer’s Lead Coach and Coach Operations Manager, I’m so excited for our **new AI-powered coaching features**. We know how difficult it can be to remember those “aha” moments you had with your coach before they slip away. With Shimmer 2.0, you’ll not only hold onto every insight, but also have actionable nudges to help you follow through between sessions—and that consistent support makes all the difference to keep your motivation and momentum up and make progress even faster! This launch is a true collaboration between our amazing members, incredible coaches, and the Shimmer product team. We’ve been gathering a ton of feedback from our members and coaches, tested with real-world coaching scenarios, and fine-tuned the experience so it actually brings insights - not just extra information that you can't utilize or apply. This is ADHD Coaching, enhanced!

Thank you so much @garrytan for hunting us! Hi everyone! I'm Vikram, one of the co-founders and CTO of Shimmer. 😊 We’ve been working tirelessly on our brand-new AI-powered coaching features, and I’m thrilled to finally share them with you on Product Hunt. It’s been a blast collaborating with our members—merging cutting-edge tech with real human insight to create an even more supportive and dynamic coaching experience. Our goal has always been to serve the ADHD community in the best way possible, and these new features help capture every “aha” moment, give you actionable insights between sessions, and let you instantly recall your entire coaching history. It’s been amazing to see our beta testers rediscover breakthroughs they’d forgotten and stay on track, even when life gets busy. Thanks so much for checking out our 2.0 launch, and as always, we’d love your feedback. We appreciate your support more than you know, and can’t wait to hear what you think!

The thing that excites me most about this launch is that we didn’t just add AI to have AI or generate silly stuff. It’s designed from the ground up to be human-centered, especially for us ADHDers. Just knowing that the AI is taking notes helps me stay present and engaged during sessions. It frees me up to fully engage in the conversation without worrying about capturing every detail. The smart search feature is also super handy for revisiting past sessions and finding awesome advice from my sessions and insights I might have missed. I'm incredibly lucky to work with a team that genuinely cares about creating meaningful tools for our community. ✨

I’m the Product Designer who helped bring these to life, and I want to highlight our intentions and what we’re proud of! First, I’ll call out that one of the things that makes Shimmer different from therapy and other ADHD treatment is our laser focus on action, to cause lasting transformation in behavior, thought patterns, and overall lived experiences. These features focus on the days between coaching sessions, where the real growth happens, when the lessons learned in session are put to action. We want to support and accelerate that growth, so that members can see the life changes they come to us for. To keep the momentum flowing between sessions, these features help members remember past discussions and lessons as well as identify new insights and patterns they otherwise might not have noticed. We are so excited to take these features even further from where they are today!

Congrats on the launch, folks! So many people around have ADHD symptoms, it's great there are such great tools are available to help. Will share it with my friends and might give it a try myself.

I've been using shimmer for a couple of months now, it is helping me by having someone (my shimmer coach) check on me, and keep me accountable in a friendly and helpful way. I usually forget all about my goals and important "to do" lists with all the distractions in life. But shimmer texts me reminders! On the shimmer website there are many motivating videos and even daily groups guided by a coach that I can join at no extra charge if I choose. Having ADHD makes it difficult to work alone all the time, but in the groups, we are all working together without leaving our home! I love it ! The shimmer app can be used on a cell phone and/or PC. I also get personal messages from my coach with gentle reminders as well as video calls to discuss strategies, ideas, progress and problems. The App is simple to use, and any questions are usually promptly answered by staff.
