I built the Optimism Engine because I noticed a dangerous gap in how we are using AI for mental health.
Right now, everyone is rushing to add "AI Chatbots" to their apps. But there is a huge risk they are ignoring: Hallucinations. Generative AI (like ChatGPT) is creative, but it makes mistakes. It can miss a suicide cue. It can give bad advice. In mental health, a "creative" mistake isn't just a bug, it's a liability.
Hey Product Hunt! I'm Adam, founder of HeyForgetful. (Launching tomorrow)
I built it because I kept missing appointments and forgetting pickups - and phone reminders felt like a chore to set up. So I made something simpler: speak or message your reminder, get nudged when it matters.
Now it's live on iOS, Android, and Chrome.
When I'm not building, I'm being a Dad and husband, Tech has always been my passion ever since I was 16 (Now 39!). Time flies, being in the industry for so long, I've never actually "made" something for myself - always other people, so 2026 is the year I'm actually going to build fun, interesting ideas that inspire me. Excited to connect with other makers here!
