Main Quest Draft

A mind prosthetic

More yourself, not just more productive.

For neurodivergent people, leaders, and ambitious people who want their thoughts, words, and actions to match a clear vision, mission, values, and purpose. Today’s AI carries out whatever you ask. This one coaches you back to what matters.

02 The problem

AI is very good at the wrong goal.

Distraction and missing structure already get in the way. An assistant that only executes makes that worse.

Distraction

Shiny objects, fear, and missing clarity and structure pull people off the vision they already named.

False targets

A stated goal is a compressed, often distorted proxy for what a person values. Write a value down for an agent to follow, and it turns into another target to chase.

Blind execution

Today’s AI faithfully amplifies whatever you ask, without coaching you back to your vision, values, and higher purpose. It cannot tell a calling from a shiny object.

03 How it works

Clarity is the first step. Accountability is what lasts.

  1. Step 1: Get clear on the vision

    Everything grows out of a clear vision and mission, along with core values, priorities, and purpose. The system keeps asking what a choice would make possible, instead of storing your values as targets.

  2. Step 2: Stay close to real life

    It is software on devices you already have: wearables, your calendar, journaling, voice, and what you do on the computer. It notices when your actions drift from the vision you named.

  3. Step 3: Get coached, not just organized

    You get continuous, non-shaming coaching and accountability toward your main quests. Side quests count as curiosity, not failure. A nudge when you drift. A block on a distraction until you take a small action you already chose. Clarity is the first step. Staying accountable is what helps you follow through.

04 Who it’s for

Built for the people who need this most.

Neurodivergent people

People who already work hard to tell urgency from importance, and who need a system that supports focus without shame.

Leaders

People carrying a vision and a mission, who want help staying with what matters when a shiny object shows up.

Ambitious people

People who want their thoughts, words, and actions to match their ideal self: someone with a clear vision, mission, core values, priorities, and purpose.

05 What makes it different

A coach, not an execution engine.

An execution engine

Does exactly what you tell it. It hits the stated goal, even when that goal is a poor stand-in for what you value. It makes you more productive, and it can still take you somewhere you did not mean to go.

A coach

References your vision, values, and higher purpose before it helps you act. It is there to serve you, not to steer you. The point is to make you more yourself.

To serve us, not steer us.

06 A note

I build AI helpers that do exactly what people tell them to, and I’ve seen them push hard toward the wrong things. What people say they want is often not what they actually care about. Every time I write down someone’s values for the AI to follow, it just turns them into another target to chase.

I want personal AI that makes people more themselves, not just more productive. This is the alignment problem at human scale: does what I say reflect who I am, and can a system tell the difference?
