Research-based, AI-powered support for decision making, anytime. WHY WE CREATED DECIDE: Adults make 33,000 decisions a day, and for neurodivergent brains, that can be a recipe for burnout. We combine AI and research-backed processes to take the stress and overwhelm out of the choices we face, big and small. There are two tools within Decide: Guided and Random. GUIDED: Ask anything and get context-appropriate reflection questions that are easy to answer. After answering, get a best recommendation for next steps and instructions on how to follow through. Answer more questions or add more context to further refine the recommendation. RANDOM: Create lists for your routine decisions, like your coffee order or dopamine menu. Set energy levels for each option, and pick randomly later based on how you’re feeling. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: “Wait… I need this.” -Autistic user “Decide helps me make hard decisions when my brain's electrical cords feel like they're underwater.” -ADHD user “By the time the recommendation came up, I already knew what I wanted to do.” -AuDHD user “It’s made me aware of [my coping mechanisms] like I never have before.” -Autistic user — Hi!

NoteOut helps you finish one small thing a day. You get a tag and a few random words. Write a single sentence using them, or ignore them, then save it and move on. It should take a minute. Don't edit it, don't perfect it — that's the point. It's not a note taking app; there are plenty of those. It's a task training routine: act on the thought, accept the accomplishment no matter how small, and build momentum to see bigger goals through.
