Wellness influencers and supplement brands are promoting unproven nootropic alternatives to prescription ADHD stimulants like Adderall, capitalizing on RFK Jr.'s commission report questioning overmedication. Experts warn these gray-market supplements lack FDA approval and evidence of efficacy.

A skill for coding agents that produces ADHD-friendly outputs: action-first, numbered steps, no 'hope this helps' fluff. Improves clarity for neurodivergent users and anyone wanting concise answers.

An open-source ADHD agent skill for Claude Code has been released.

This study analyzes tweets from self-reported ADHD and ASD users to profile DSM-5 depressive symptoms using NLP, finding population-level differences in symptom expression between the two groups despite limited classification performance.

The author describes designing a custom Pebble watchface to help with time management and hyperfocus issues, using Claude AI for prototyping.

A developer built Sorted, a daily to-do list app incorporating AI, designed for people with dementia and ADHD. It features brain dump, quick-tap chips, mood check-ins with carer alerts, and a no-guilt design, available for free with a one-time purchase for AI features.

Dopami helps people with ADHD manage household chores by reducing mental load.

A personal account of using AI agents to manage tasks, emails, and calendars, significantly improving productivity for someone with ADHD.

A reflective blog post discusses the problem of using AI to rapidly create numerous projects, which can lead to attention fragmentation and lack of meaningful follow-through, while also noting that some people with ADHD find AI helps them focus and complete tasks.

The author introduces a novel approach for AI agents called ADHD, using parallel divergent ideation to enable non-linear thinking inspired by ADHD minds, though with higher cost and latency, and releases it as open source.

A new open-source skill for coding agents that implements parallel divergent ideation—spawning isolated reasoning processes under distorted cognitive frames—to overcome premature convergence in autoregressive reasoning. The skill, available for Claude Code and other agents via npm, claims to significantly improve performance on creative and design tasks.

A researcher proposes a method called 'ADHD - Parallel Divergent Ideation' that uses tree-of-thoughts to give AI agents divergent thinking, inspired by ADHD, but with significant trade-offs in cost and speed. The project is open-source.

The author introduces SAVI, an iOS app designed for ADHD users that converts voice brain dumps into structured tasks and reminders using on-device AI like Whisper and GPT-4o.

The author shares a personal perspective on using Claude to overcome 'task paralysis,' highlighting the tension between improved productivity and the risks of AI dependency and excessive spending.

A plugin for AI coding assistants that reformats responses to be more concise and action-oriented, tailored for users with ADHD. It provides numbered steps, suppresses tangents, and ends with a concrete next step.
