i miss understood what the podcast about your compagny and your Ai was about .it just kept asking me emotinal questions that was making my executive capabilities even worst.it would bombard me with questions over and over and would often go in a round about and ask the same questions .

it has good potential but it doesnt feel like a jarvis yet i will be joining in again when its closer to a jarvis ,minus The armor building capabilities of course .

i would like normal notifications and an app for android.i would like for the ai to ask for cross platform support and be able to open apps like youtube .i would like a AI that reduce the most the friction of doing things . as it is the most difficult for me

vincent dube: Love this feedback.

We do have supportive coaches like that, you should try them.

Here is one example

[ How To ] - How to use the Goals Manager to Enhance Executive Function

Thanks to your feedback this has been added as an article for others to use as well!

vincent dube: Another way to enhance executive Function with IX Coach, worth checking out if you are not familiar with the custom coach we built explicitly for this purpose.

Enhancing Executive Function with iXcoach 🚀 #2 - Using the Motivation Coach

vincent dube: I see!! You can turn that setting off when creating a custom AI coach, I can offer a video for that, or you can directly tell the AI coach how to coach you and it will remember in that session.

We can add the ability for it to learn how to coach you, your preferences, in a user profile as well, I think thats a solution that would make a big difference.

And we are adding between session memory this week which should help a lot with this as well.

Hey! One other thought.. there are several articles here about breaking the AI out of a loop.

Heres a trick if that happens again: Ask it to explain itself, theres even a shortcut command for this its so helpful. / into the input.

When it explains itself, see if you agree. If you do, let it guide you to the present moment experience its taking. Typically it will do this if it detects that your connecting to the immediate experience, your inner world, is the thing it believes is holding you back in the topic your discussing, which means that you might actually get a ton of value from that.

Sometimes it will ask this because it cannot figure out how to best support you without knowing what the inner experience is.

Think of it this way...

- Theres where you are at, and where you want to go.

Where you are at has 2 critical domains, inner and outer.

Your inner world is your thoughts, sensations, resistance or acceptance of what is, your visions, longings, aspirations, hopes, dreams, and emotional state.

Your outer world is the circumstances, systems, tangible measurable goals, etc..

If the AI is detecting that your inner world is not lined up with your goal, you can either reset its understanding of your goal:

"look, I don't care to connection emotionally, I just want to hit the goal of abc ( like buying a house ) and need planning "

or you can find some part of your inner world its asking for

"yea ok, I guess I feel checked out right now"

Or you can redirect it to the kind of coaching you want.

- By saying what you want instead

- By seeing its reasoning and telling it you dont agree or something else is more important

- By hitting the regenerate button until you like its approach

- By swapping methods at ixcoach.com/methods

- By swapping coaches at ixcoach.com/explore

All of that is available to you, and soon we are adding a thumbs down on its responses which will trigger a lot of adaptive behavior to shape it into what you want.

Make sense? Try this and let me know if it helps, and Ill start thinking about how make sure folks know this up front.

vincent dube: Thank you so much for this feedback Vincent.

vincent dube: Its really helpful to know the details about which ai capacities you would expect, so that we can add those capacities.

vincent dube:

So, the AI cannot itself remind you if you ask it directly, but you can set reminders through email and it does a great job at that.

While its still in Beta you can set up reminders here

Please understand this feature is temporarily shut off for maintenance but should be only a couple days longer before it is reactivated.

vincent dube:

I totally agree about the voice to voice, actually this is really important to many of our users.

We just upgraded it and currently there is a known limitation where if I use my apple bluetooth earbuds it does not seem to hear me. At all times.

Im not sure the exact issue, but it just needs more testing and fixing. It should be done by tomorrow.

A current workaround is to, if you are on the phone, tap on the input like your going to speak to it, then use the mic button on your keypad. Most devices have this.

What device are you using?

My team is working overtime to get a native app out to you, and we do have a native ios app in beta testing. If you happen to be on an iphone I can get you access to that in the next day or two.

vincent dube:

I agree with you on notifications, we can actually set that up today, we have just been trying to discern the best way of handling it.

Could you take a moment and just share what you think it should look like or what the most important part is?

We can absolutely give the AI the ability to set its own notifications for reminders based on your conversation, but this would take us a week or two to get through testing.

What if the notification was more general, like a quick "Hey, how can I support you today?" with a link back into a conversation which continues that conversation thread.

Would that be helpful?

I think btw that I am starting to see the picture of your ideal setup:

You say remind me daily pls to the coach about what your talking about ( morning practice ), it says "on it" and sets a notification in the system that you can edit and change anytime.

It shows you the notification it set up so you can approve, edit or reject it.

Then when that time comes, it sends you that notification, with a link back to that coaching session, and it remembers all the context from that conversation if you click through the notification to talk it over.

Thats the 10/10 slam dunk for you right?

Jonathan haber yes i would like to help you out with ideas on how to improve it. honestly for the notifications email is ok but a real app with built in notification is better. there is other things to improve too. send me your email so i can write to you there the things to improve .the fact that the ai lies is a big low . it says it can notice me for my routine but does not and says he can play music but then can not . until you have those features,it should say it cant to this yet. i was looking for a jarvis like assistant to make things happen in my life and i was desapointed. the session concept is not appealing .makes it feel like a different psychologist each time not a follow up life coach .also ask way to many of the same questions and dont get it when i ask to stop asking them .

Jonathan haber yes those are good ideas .id be willing to share many of my ideas with you.i actually my self thought about creating my own adhd frendly ai coach that helps with executive task we struggle with .send me a email to the one i subscribed with please we'll talk :)

vincent dube .The feedback is super helpful Vincent.

If you dont mind dropping your thoughts in this channel its a bit simpler to organize, because my team is actively monitoring these posts and fixing things as people mention things.

We do have an ios app in testing right now, do you have an ios or android?

And what kind of a notification would you like? Today we are releasing, ( could be tomorrow at the latest ) new navigation that should fix all known issues with the ios app thats in testing, then we just need to find a bunch of willing testers to try it out.

I can get phone notifications setup, I was honestly kind of hoping someone would voice exactly how they think they should work. I was talking to a coach that I am partnering with today and he shared that he wanted to have the ai, or you, be able to set notifications to follow up and then specifically follow up around new habits you might set related to your goals.

Is that what your thinking about also?

Ill announce when the email system is back online, should not be too long, It just needs a bit more testing.

We are building faster than we can test and need the feedback, because we are largely self funded at this point and a small team with a very, very big objective.

I found this bug!! theres supposed to be a continue button that appears when the coach gets cut off and a bug caused it to not be appearing! Thank you for surfacing this issue! Fixed!
