Inspiration

As a late diagnosed divergent human I have found myself with little support provided by a overstretched health system, a private insurance that doesn't cover my mental health as I now have a diagnosis and feeling the effects of a society that says they want to be inclusive but when it comes to practical help you can't get nowhere, unless you have a lot of money available. So I have decided that I would put my knowledge and "AI for Good" best efforts to help me discover myself. What are my strengths, were are the points of attention, what motivates me? How do I see the world for who I am, instead of what I want the world "to see" or not see about me. So I would like to share this possibility with anyone who might be needing help to find themselves but for lack of money can't be the best version of the wonderful human they are.

What it does

It allows the person to collect data about their neurodivergence discovery journey: diagnosis, what works for them, what doesn't. Daily assessments can help them understand what impacts their wellbeing and how their capabilities fluctuate - if there is a pattern or not. The AI summarises the information back, highlighting strengths, points for attention, noticeable patterns. It also retrieves online content from reputable sources about the many neurodivergence conditions and leverages its recommendation algorithm to suggest techniques that might work given data collected previously.

How we built it

It was a mix of vibe coding, troubleshoot, study, brainstorming, resuscitating rusty coding skills, sleepless nights closing gaps to learn new languages, getting husband and sister on-board (lucky they're engineers). Bolt was essential to me - not just on doing it but also on helping me learn and regain that long lost feeling of "job done" that only engineers challenged by their "next quests" know.

Challenges we ran into

• New language for everyone in the team.
• You can craft the best ever prompt, but if it is too complex AI can't handle (yet!).
• Agile "iterative" and "incremental" is crystal clear a winning strategy for any intelligence format (I'm currently an Agile Coach).
• Juggling a 9 to 5 job, menopause, neurodivergent burndown, a child, sleepless nights and a foggy but unique and wonderful brain. I do love it when it wants to work but when it doesn't 😫

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• I am still capable of learning and doing something useful and good with it
• I can have a "place to go" when I the "feeling" about me is not "ok" but the data I've got on me says otherwise
• I can connect the dots and see the patterns. Uncover hidden triggers and prepare myself better for them (or even avoid)
• I can maybe even help someone else out there confused and trying to come to terms with the fact that is not lack of will, you are that way by design. And no. Other people are not spending the same amount of energy you are on the things you have to.
• Ah yes, in terms of software development I've got something in production which is cool and an achievement for a former mainframe developer. But this personal and firsthand feeling that: yes, for our customers "outcomes are way better than outputs" is something that I will take with pride wherever I go.

What we learned

• That learning can happen in so many ways, but trial, inspection and adaptation is the best one.
• AI can enhance humanity. One shouldn't be afraid of the tool - harm is more about the hand that is employing it.
• That the engineers at Bolt rock! "User wow outcome here due to your efforts" - amazing happens when we connect ideas to uplift other ideas

What's next for AuDHD.ai

• Find charities that would like to partner fir advertising and scale usage.
• Connect our users with specialised professionals - if they want to, we can help them find the most aligned one. Keep helping our users navigate their journey of lifelong discovery.
