Looking for AI Tools/Assistants That Support Daily Life, Planning, and Neurodivergence
Hey everyone. I'm autistic and neurodivergent, and I often struggle with organizing my thoughts, staying on track with tasks, and managing multiple projects that require research, planning, and scheduling. I’m looking for AI tools—especially voice-activated ones—that can really assist me in daily life. The markets, social media, etc. are saturated with all kinds of different tools and I'm having trouble navigating my way through the available technology. I'm willing to put the work in if it means running scripts, setting up environments, buying a Raspberry Pi or something, whatever! I need the help! Here's what I’m hoping to find:
- Wake-on-voice chatbot assistant that works like a pocket-sized device or phone app. I want to be able to say things like:
- "Hey ChatGPT, remind me to call my doctor Monday morning."
- "Hey ChatGPT, what's going on in finance news today?"
- Ideally it would talk back, handle tasks, and integrate with calendars, reminders, etc.
- Something that initiates check-ins, not just responds. For example:
- "Hey, have you taken your medicine yet? It’s been 8 hours."
- "Don’t forget to drink water today."
- Intermittent nudges and support to keep me engaged with my long-term projects. I’d love something that checks in on me like a helpful friend.
- Ability to handle multiple “spaces” or projects—I want to say:
- "Let’s start adding stuff to my car project."
- "What was the last thing we researched for my music project?"
- …and have it switch context accordingly.
- Built-in generative AI for writing, brainstorming, summarizing articles, helping with research, or even creative stuff like lyrics or poetry—whatever I need on the fly.
- A flexible, dynamic schedule builder that adjusts to real-life routines. I work night shifts in cycles, so I need a planner that can keep up with biweekly shifts in my sleep and productivity.
- Support for daily living tasks—reminders to eat, stretch, take breaks, exercise, etc. Basically, help managing executive function challenges in a compassionate way.
- Ultimately, I’m looking for a chatbot that feels more like a supportive friend—one that helps me get through life, not just get through a checklist.
If anyone has recommendations for tools, apps, setups, or devices that can do some or all of this—or any clever workarounds you’ve made work for yourself—I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Added details. I have an Android phone (Samsung) and Windows PC. I also have a low-tier HP laptop. I hope to be able to compile a program or use a program that can sync between devices.
