The Problem

Entire workplaces are experiencing an increase in burnout, especially from digital presenteeism in remote and hybrid environments. Burnout is costing the U.S. $150B in lost productivity annually. Meanwhile, more Americans report having a harder time concentrating, remembering, and making decisions than at any time in the last 15 years - thanks to workplace-induced stress, long COVID brain fog, and rising awareness of neurodivergence among younger generations. The percentage of U.S. workers with cognitive disabilities has spiked by 25% since 2020, and they are burning out just as fast without adequate support. Meanwhile, employers are busy treating the symptoms of burnout, not the root cause. Instead of spending more on healthcare and wellbeing programs, employers need to help employees take back mind-space to do intentional work. What employees need is a way to safeguard their executive function moment to moment systematically, not just once a week with their therapist or coach.

The Solution

Geshido is the AI focus assistant that reduces organization-wide burnout costs daily. Inspired by the needs of employees with invisible cognitive disabilities, it minimizes information overload across work apps to accelerate flow state work for both employees and their managers. For the Chief People officer and their departmental peers, Geshido improves employee engagement and business performance by helping teams row faster in the same direction. First, the AI assistant aligns priorities between the employee and their manager moment to moment with real-time sharing of up-to-date priorities and feedback. Second, it protects mind-space to focus on working each priority with only the necessary interruptions from work apps such as Slack, Google Workspace, and Jira (smart prioritization and muting of notifications across apps). Third, Geshido accelerates the employee into flow state by gathering relevant information and presenting it in the most accessible way for that individual.
