FocusBuddy (YC S24)

Rahul Goyette

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.

Wow Adnan! Great product! Is the best way to try it out via an app on mobile, or on desktop, or via browser etc - does it sync across all devices etc? I write so many to do lists & manually add everything to my calendar multiple times/day (my ADHD brain struggles to remember everything & be punctual!) so this is exciting tech! What's the pricing model?

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.

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.

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've been looking to improve productivity, interesting approach with voice-first AI. I gotta try this! Any plans for a mobile version that syncs with desktop so I can jot down things while I'm on the go?

This is a game-changer for anyone struggling with focus and productivity. Focus Buddy acts as a real-time AI coach, keeping me accountable and helping me break down tasks. I love the personalized insights and the ability to chat with my AI buddy - it's like having a personal productivity assistant in my pocket! This is the future of work, and I'm excited to see where it goes.
