Built a tool to reduce AI workflow chaos and now I’m wondering if the problem is just me
I spend an amount of time bouncing between AI tabs, rewriting context, fixing formatting issues, copying outputs into other tools, and trying to remember where half my prompts even are anymore.
After months of complaining about it, I ended up building a small workflow tool for myself that tries to keep everything connected in one place instead of constantly jumping between apps. The original goal was simple: reduce the amount of mental reset that happens every time you switch tasks while using AI heavily.
The weird part is that the more I worked on it, the more I started questioning whether this is actually a real problem or if I’ve just destroyed my own attention span by overusing AI tools.
A few people who tested it said it genuinely helped them stay focused longer during research and writing sessions. Other people looked at it and basically said “this is just another layer on top of existing tools.”
Which honestly might be true.
I also realized that building productivity software is kind of a trap because every feature that supposedly saves time creates another settings panel, another workflow decision, another thing people need to learn.
So roast it properly.
Is “AI workflow fatigue” an actual growing problem, or is this just a fancy way of solving self created chaos for people who already spend too much time online?
