AI Assistant for ADHD Professionals
GAIA captures tasks before ideas vanish, surfaces what's urgent without you having to remember to check, and handles follow-ups automatically — reducing the executive function tax of managing a modern workday.
For professionals with ADHD, the modern workplace's constant context-switching isn't just annoying — it's a system that actively works against the way your brain operates. The moment attention shifts, tasks escape capture, emails pile into a doom stack, and the guilt of unread notifications quietly compounds. GAIA was built to remove the executive function overhead from your day: it captures tasks from wherever they surface, proactively tells you what needs attention right now, and handles follow-ups in the background so your working memory doesn't have to.
Challenges ADHD Professionals Face Every Day
Tasks that surface mid-conversation or in passing emails vanish the moment attention shifts to the next thing
The unread email doom pile grows faster than motivation to tackle it, until avoidance becomes the default
Important follow-ups get forgotten entirely — not because they aren't a priority, but because there was no system to surface them at the right moment
Hyperfocus pulls attention deep into low-priority work while genuinely urgent items quietly pile up unnoticed
The paralysis of opening a task list with 40 undifferentiated items and no clear signal of where to start
How GAIA Helps ADHD Professionals
Proactive Task Capture from Email and Chat
GAIA monitors your Gmail and Slack for action items and adds them to Todoist automatically — so tasks get captured before your attention moves on, even if you never explicitly wrote them down.
Automatic Prioritization Surface
Instead of requiring you to review every item in every tool, GAIA proactively surfaces what's most urgent each morning based on deadlines, email context, and calendar pressure — removing the paralysis of choosing where to start.
Follow-up Reminders Without Manual Setup
When GAIA detects you've sent an email that likely needs a reply, it schedules a follow-up reminder automatically — no manual reminder creation required, no thread forgotten.
Unified Inbox Across All Tools
GAIA consolidates email, Slack messages, calendar events, and tasks into a single context — reducing the tool-switching tax that fragments attention and drains working memory throughout the day.
Natural Language Task Entry
Add tasks in plain language through chat, email, or voice without navigating menus or opening apps. GAIA parses intent, sets due dates, and routes the task to the right list so low-friction capture actually happens.
Open Source and Self-Hostable
GAIA is fully open source and free to self-host — no subscription required to get started — with a Pro plan at $20/month flat if you want the managed version, giving you full control over your data and no vendor lock-in.
