The problem it solves

You mean to drink enough water during the day but get absorbed in work and forget entirely. Generic reminder apps repeat the same message until you tune them out. You also have no easy record of how much you actually drank versus your goal.

Who it fits

Anyone who wants a lightweight, non-annoying way to build a better water-drinking habit while working.

How it works

  1. A schedule checks in on you at random times during work hours
  2. It looks at your recent intake before deciding whether to remind you
  3. AI writes a fresh, friendly reminder message each time
  4. You reply to log your intake, which updates a spreadsheet
  5. A running tally shows how close you are to your daily goal
What you get

Water intake nudges that build a habit

You get a friendly reminder to drink water at the right moments during your workday, with your progress tracked automatically.

What you get

A daily water intake log and a percentage-to-goal tracker, plus timely reminder messages.

What you need

A Slack workspace, a Google account for Sheets, and an OpenAI API key.

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.
