Can you elaborate on LLMs as assistants for ADHD? What are you automating with them?


For me it is the psychological barrier.

e.g. I would never do something that’s challenging, not mandatory, yet potentially beneficial like disputing a charge, requesting renumeration etc.

But I can put the docs in a folder, ask AI about the next step, ask it to take it or at least write the copy.

That seems to be a lot of reduced mental load and gets me do things I otherwise could postpone for months or never do.


Anything, really. Structuring work and breaking it into smaller chunks, keeping track on tasks, getting back up to speed on past tasks. Mundane stuff like planning out furniture purchases, having it walk me through the requirements etc. It just lowers the barrier to start, as starting is just a single sentence away and everything else flows from there.


They have helped me a lot with chunking tasks, and guiding me through tasks that I can't hold in focus.

There's a prompt I used while moving out, where I had claude ask me questions, what is in each room. And then once we had this item list, organizing it.


> where I had claude ask me questions

That's a powerful pattern also for engineering. Can recommend.
