The problem it solves

You leave your day job and jump straight into a side project, or the other way around, without ever really switching gears. Carrying stress or unfinished thoughts from one context into the other makes it hard to focus on either.

Who it fits

Professionals or business owners who juggle a day job alongside a side business or passion project.

How it works

  1. Triggers when you run a shortcut on your phone
  2. Sends your current context to an AI model
  3. AI generates a short prompt to help you reset your focus
  4. Sends the response back to your phone
What you get

A clear mental reset between roles

You get a short prompt sent straight to your phone to help you mentally reset when you switch between your job and your side project.

What you get

A short message on your phone designed to help you reset your focus before switching tasks.

What you need

An OpenAI API key and an iPhone with the Shortcuts app.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
