Questions people actually ask

Can AI plan my day for me?

It can propose a schedule. Motion does this well for calendar-heavy work. Accepting the schedule is still the hard part, and no model fixes that.

Is it safe to paste personal tasks into AI tools?

Assume anything you paste is processed by a third party. Keep medical and financial detail out of it.

What is the best free AI tool for ADHD?

Goblin Tools on the web. No account, no cost, and it does the one job that matters: breaking the task into steps.
