I was expecting this to just be another AI API wrapper, but I really like Neuro Tools. I’ve been given a whole alphabet to describe my brain, and I think I could actually benefit from using these tools. The most success I’ve had so far in changing my behavior has come through reflection, and I like that reflection is a key aspect of these tools. One idea for an additional tool would be to have a “reality check” tool. I often believe that I can accomplish an impossible amount of work in one day. It would be great to have a tool that helps schedule work in a more feasible way. So if I say, “I’m going to work on this paper for six hours today and eight hours tomorrow,” it would challenge that and say something like “Let’s start with accomplishing two paragraphs today and see what else you’re up to.”

That doesn’t come as a surprise to me. I’ve tried several modalities and intensities of therapy from CBT and DBT to Psychoanalysis, and I find ChatGPT more beneficial. A crucial benefit of ChatGPT is its 24/7 availability. By reducing the barrier to availability, it becomes much easier to get help as unhealthy beliefs and behaviors emerge. Perhaps, LLMs could augment clinician understanding of the environmental factors that trigger patient symptoms.
