Thanks! I think part of it is unrealistic expectations for what's normal. When you read everywhere 9/9/6 is the way to go you don't want to face your "low productivity". My brain stops working after 7 hours and I get headaches if I work weekends. I hope that by putting out more data like this we can move the expectations to healthier norms again.
A proactive AI that asks you for your daily goals and checks in if you're not working on them.
Right now working on framing this as an RL problem to better predict when nudging is actually successful and what kind of wording works best given the user data. Then applying the same logic to onboarding emails etc.
I don't know... I know a few people who inherited enough money to be idle and they don't seem particularly happy with their idleness. Could of course be the social pressure we live in, and that could change if we're all idle.
I built mine with all kinds of privacy features built in: from never storing raw data to always allowing to review before sharing anything to always offering to pause, excluding apps, deleting data, opt-in for social features, …
So spyware in the sense of getting information without the employee knowing would be impossible and not something I’d ever want to do.
It does enable transparency on a very abstracted level: your team could see a six bullet point summary of your day if you opt in. I believe this kind of transparency can actually help more teams go remote, cut down on sync meetings, etc.
I’m currently experimenting with a feature that shows relative time spent only, not absolute - so e.g. 30% on project X, 20% on admin, etc. That could be the sweet spot on visibility vs privacy.
The same tech stack is pretty easily adaptable to openclaw tracking. If anybody would like to try, DM
Also looking into AI based security tools for monitoring security of DoneThat. Thinking of using zeropath would love to hear if people tried them / have other suggestions
Totally understand that. I’m trying everything I can to make it as secure and private as possible, see https://donethat.ai/data but can never be 100% of course. At the /compare link I list some open source tools that try to do something similar fully local.
A Substack for 80/20 life advice that gets repeated every year. We all know what to do, the idea of this is to remind us every week of one aspect of life and what best practices are for that area.
Shutting down Rewind completely, limitless not available anymore in EU, UK, Brazil, Israel, South Korea, Turkey, China, won't be HIPPA compliant anymore
I am right now building a proactive coach on top of my AI work capture app. Concept is very simple: It takes a screenshot every few minutes and analyzes what you're working on. From there it identifies task blocks, and checks if it should start a chat based on your intentions (eg to tell you to move out of your rabbit hole, take a break, help with a task, ...)
https://donethat.ai Passively processing screenshots is obviously pretty sensitive, it has an option to bring your own (local or remote) LLM, otherwise I process with gemini and never store any data.
It's in beta right now so if you want to try it you have to enable "proactive chat" in settings.
