An AI personal assistant for ADHD and procrastination, not another to-do app you'll abandon
Jarvi wasn't designed from a productivity textbook. It was built by a founder with real ADHD who kept losing the fight against execution paralysis — so the whole system is built around the actual failure mode: knowing exactly what to do and still not starting.
Why most productivity apps fail an ADHD brain
A to-do list assumes the hard part is remembering. For ADHD and chronic procrastination, the hard part is almost never remembering — it's the gap between knowing and starting. Stacking another app on top of that gap just adds one more tab to avoid opening. Jarvi doesn't ask you to open anything: you message it in Telegram or WhatsApp like you would a person, and a crew of specialist agents — Grim for your calendar, Murphy for your tasks, Chronicles for memory — takes the action against your real Google Calendar and Tasks.
Momentum, gamified — not guilt-tripped
Jarvi runs a real XP economy underneath the multi-agent crew: completing tasks, keeping habits, and staying inside your own Compass earns levels, not just a checked box. The founder's own framing: the game of life is the one where you can't keep track of everything — so instead of another silent tracker, Jarvi is built to reward showing up, the same way a game rewards playing.
What "executive dysfunction" looks like as a feature list
- One message dispatches multiple agents — no context-switching between a calendar app, a task app and a notes app to get one thing scheduled.
- Chronicles remembers what you decided last week without you re-explaining it — no cold-start tax every time you open the app.
- Murphy triages what actually matters right now (Eisenhower urgency), so a long list doesn't become its own source of avoidance.
- Nothing requires a new app to learn — Jarvi lives inside the chat apps already open on your phone.
Built in public, by one person
This isn't a funded team's guess at what ADHD needs — it's a solo, first-gen immigrant founder building the tool he needed for himself, in public, one agent at a time. If procrastination and executive dysfunction are the actual problem you're trying to solve — not just "I need to be more organized" — this was built for exactly that.
