AIVA · External brain for ADHD
AIVA catches the openloops your brain drops.
A Mac-first AI assistant that reviews your Gmail and Calendar, finds follow-ups, promises, meetings, and unfinished threads, then turns them into approval-ready next actions.
What AIVA catches
The things that slip when your attention scatters.
Follow-ups you forgot
Threads where someone’s waiting on you, quietly going stale. AIVA finds them before they turn into a missed opportunity.
Promises you made
“I’ll send that over,” “let me get back to you.” AIVA reads your sent mail, catches the commitment, and reminds you it’s still open.
Meetings without prep
Calendar events with no agenda, no notes, no context. AIVA flags the ones that need you to walk in ready.
Unfinished threads
The half-written reply, the question you never answered, the loop you opened and lost. AIVA holds the thread so you don’t have to.
Your morning reset
One calm picture, when your brain is overwhelmed.
Ask once and AIVA hands you a Morning External Brain — not a wall of overdue, just the loops that matter and the one place to start.
Start here
The single highest-leverage thing to do first — so getting going doesn’t require deciding everything.
People waiting on you
Threads where someone needs a reply, ranked by who’s blocked.
People you’re waiting on
What you’re owed, so nothing you’re blocked on slips your mind.
Promises you made
Commitments pulled from your own sent mail, still open.
Meetings that need prep
Today’s events that need an agenda, notes, or a heads-up.
Things you forgot but shouldn’t have
Stalled threads and dropped loops, surfaced gently.
One suggested next action
Not a wall of tasks — the next useful step, approval-ready.

Why it matters
What changes when nothing slips.
Follow-ups you forgot, caught before they cost you
AIVA reviews your Gmail and Calendar and finds the threads quietly waiting on you — then resurfaces them on a gentle, recurring sweep instead of letting them rot in the scroll.
- Stalled threads surfaced, not buried
- A recurring sweep, not a one-time scramble
- Nobody left hanging because you forgot
Loop
Every weekday · 8:00 AM
Follow-up sweep — next run in 14h
Promises you made, remembered for you
AIVA reads what you actually said you’d do — in your own sent mail — and holds those commitments so the words “I’ll send it over” don’t become a dropped ball a week later.
- Commitments pulled from your sent mail
- Held until you’ve actually done them
- No more “did I ever reply to that?”
Remembered
Meeting prep without the context switch
AIVA pulls the thread, the last email, and who’s attending into one place before each meeting — so you walk in ready without ten tabs and a cold start.
- The context gathered for you
- No frantic pre-meeting scramble
- Walk in already caught up
Meeting prep
- Pulled the last thread
- Found the open question
- Drafted 3 talking points
Approval before action
It catches. You decide.
AIVA finds the loops and drafts the next step — but nothing leaves your machine or touches the world until you say go.
- Send any email or reply
- Accept, decline, or move a calendar event
- Delete or archive anything
- Anything irreversible — it always asks first
Local-first, BYOK
Your brain’s backup stays yours.
BYOK: bring your own model key. AIVA runs on your key, on your terms — no markup, no lock-in.
Mac-first and local by default — your mail and calendar are read on-device and queried on demand, never bulk-uploaded.
Connect Gmail and Calendar with a revocable token; disconnect from Settings and AIVA stops reading immediately.
Honest about what this is
Not medical treatment. Just an external brain.
AIVA isn’t a diagnosis, a therapist, or a cure. It’s a place to put the loops your working memory can’t hold — so restarting when you’re overwhelmed is easier, not heavier.
For students

500 founding student seats — free for a year, BYOK, Mac required. If your brain drops assignments, deadlines, and professor emails, this is for you.
