DeftBrain: Guidance for life’s awkward, confusing & curious moments.

👋

I built DeftBrain because I wanted my friends to experience what excites me about AI—without having to become AI enthusiasts themselves.

I continue to be amazed by AI. My friends have more immediate concerns: a medical bill they can’t make sense of, a roommate dispute they want resolved, or a difficult conversation they don’t know how to start. A blank chat box gives them one more thing to figure out.

So I built DeftBrain around those everyday situations. DeftBrain is a web site of 120+ focused tools that turn answers to a few focused questions into practical guidance. For example, you can prepare for a difficult conversation, make sense of a confusing medical bill, work through a roommate dispute, or easily spot contract and lease clauses that deserve a closer look. Depending on the tool, you might get a draft of what to say, a list of questions to ask, or a plan you can act on.

A few playful ideas also made the cut, like Wrong Answers Only, Time Warp and Plot Hole Finder.

DeftBrain is free to use with no account or setup. Pick a tool for something you’re dealing with, answer a few questions, and see what comes back. If you’re curious about how it works, I’ve put together a look under the hood. (https://deftbrain.com/built-with)

If you try it, I’d love to know: What did it help you do? Where did it fall short? What everyday problem would you like it to help with next?

Thanks for giving it a try.
