Roadmap
MyExternalCortex is built in deliberate phases — validating with real users before adding complexity.
Phase 1 — Foundation (complete)
The core loop: a natural language AI coach that meets you where you are, on the platforms you already use.
- Discord and Telegram bots with full feature parity
- Task and appointment management via natural language
- Recurring tasks and appointments
- Daily check-ins, habit tracking, and coaching
- Reminders with soft landings (snooze, skip, done)
- Urgency scoring and missed-task recovery
- Wins counting and celebration
- Slack and Matrix support
- Web presence: marketing site, live demo, walkthrough
- User dashboard (web login via bot)
Phase 2 — Scale & Polish (in progress)
Making the experience better for more users, with lower operating cost.
- Prompt caching (major cost reduction at scale)
- Model tiering — Haiku for tools, Sonnet for coaching (complete)
- Improved time and scheduling intelligence (complete)
- Google Calendar sync
Phase 3 — Intelligence
Pattern detection and deeper coaching based on real usage data.
- Behavioral pattern detection (productivity windows, snooze patterns, habit correlations)
- Coping strategy library
- Pomodoro / focus session support
- Non-technical onboarding via web interface
We're currently in Wave 1 — validating with a small group of technical early users before broader rollout.
