AI as executive function
Using AI to work with an ADHD brain, not against it.
I'm building — and living in — a system that externalizes memory, makes time visible, and reduces the friction between intention and action. Corvus captures and triages; daily briefings surface the one next thing; AI handles the mechanics so attention goes where it matters. It's resilience at the scale of a single mind, and it's becoming a framework I want to teach.
