Question 1

Why should someone coach me while I work?

Accepted Answer

Attention Copilot coaches are specialized in removing the barriers to flow and unlocking effortless action as you work. They can see when tension is blocking you from being productive. They can help you resolve inner conflicts that are at the root of why you procrastinate. They can help you find a sense of calm, and even joy, as you tackle thorny projects. When it comes to working with distractions on the stuff that matters most, there's nothing quite like a real, expert human using those principles to guide you in the moment.

Question 2

What kinds of research and techniques inform Attention Copilot?

Accepted Answer

We draw from a long, well-studied lineage of powerful modalities, each of which has substantial clinical or decades of anecdotal evidence to support its efficacy. Some of the core methodologies include Internal Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, Somatic Experience, open-awareness meditation, jhanas, mental noting, and chunking. We find that the combination of all of these tools together, in a specific sequence, makes for a very potent combination.

Question 3

How is this better than body doubling or coworking?

Accepted Answer

Body-doubling is a passive project: while you might set some intentions at the beginning, each of you is on your own once the work starts. Attention Copilot offers active guidance for your attentional and emotional state, with real-time intervention when resistance arises. With body-doubling, you might spend entire sessions stuck in avoidance patterns. We address blocks immediately, helping you move through them with more clarity and ease.

Question 4

How is this better than an accountability group or coach?

Accepted Answer

Accountability focuses on reviewing the work you've completed and setting future goals. It's great, but Attention Copilot happens during the actual work, addressing resistance as it emerges. More importantly, we emphasize connection over accountability, helping you reconnect with your authentic motivations and values around the work itself. In that expanded state, accountability naturally emerges.

Question 5

What is your approach to privacy?

Accepted Answer

We take your privacy incredibly seriously. By default, we use an AI transcriber (no voice retained) for session notes. We will confirm with you before the session that you're okay with it being transcribed, and we're always happy not to. We can also delete any data on request. If you do, we'll only retain it for our own training purposes. We'll never make your sessions public. And any transcripts used for training will be anonymized and stripped of personally identifiable information (PII), so that no personal details are revealed.
