Cognition – Rewire Productivity.

💌 Introduction

Hi task-having individuals (aka everyone),

My name is Cognition (call me Coggy)! I am a scientific task planner, made with love from Tammy Pham and her own productivity struggles, to help you plan things using pyschology oooo....

My main occupation is sorting and organizing tasks for you in the most cognitively optimal way using my A.I. big brain magic (and science, of course) 🧠✨ – so that you can focus on actually doing your tasks rather than stressing about how to balance them all.

The goal is not to maximize productivity in a singular session, but to optimize your well-being and sustainable focus in the bigger picture.

💡 Key Features

• 🧠 Brain-conscious design: Recommends a structured task schedule, which is balanced by brain regions used for each activity. Built with guidance from a PhD Clinical Psychologist, the app logic is concrete and scientific.
• ✨ Task Classification via NLP: Uses Natural Language Processing to tag tasks by brain region(s) used (e.g., Hippocampus, Frontal Lobe, etc. ) to be organized accordingly.
• 🧪 Adaptive Planning: Customizes recommendations based on user’s cognitive profile from a brief initial assessment.
• 📊 Insightful Data: Provides informative weekly overviews of cognitive patterns for user's self-awareness.
• 🧍‍♀️ Human-Centered Design: User-friendly UI that is accessible for everyone.

📦 Tech Stack

• Python, spaCy, NLTK for NLP Tasks
• React for UI (MVP in planning)
• Git, GitHub Issues for project planning

📂 Repo Structure (All in progress)

• backend/: Core logic and classifiers (in progress)
• notebooks/: Prototypes, experiments, and NLP tests
• data/: Sample task inputs (for internal use)
• docs/: Architecture diagrams, planning notes

🔭 Status Updates

• May 2, 2025: The idea was officialy ideated!
• May 7, 2025: Tammy wrote her first SpaCy code chunk while procrastinating on her Discrete Math assignment.
• May 12, 2025: Compiled necessary topics and tools for the app development.
• May 13, 2025: Tammy and PhD Psychologist discuss dynamically adjusting algorithm to fit user's cognitive profile through a screening.
• May 15, 2025: Currently in MVP development phase. Back-end logic and task classification is being messily prototyped. Front-end samples are underway (React, maybe Streamlit).

📅 Planned Timeline

• May–June 2025: Core classification & intake logic
• July 2025: UI & front-end prototype
• August 2025: MVP testing & feedback loop

🤝 Contribution Opportunities

This is a solo project with room for research collaboration, testing, and or UI contributions. If this sounds at all intriguing to you, feel free to reach out to me!
