Pipgro
Task Execution for Kenta
Pipgro is an intelligent task execution companion designed for adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). For ADHD minds, the struggle isn't just planning, but execution. While most productivity tools focus on planning and listing tasks, Pipgro takes a different approach and bridges this gap with four systems: AI deconstruction breaks tasks into micro-steps; a filtered map locks focus on the now; smart insights adapt to your mood; and gamified rewards visualize growth. Pipgro transforms mental overload into a gentle, consistent loop of finished tasks.

Unique Properties
Pipgro is an intelligent task execution companion designed for adults with ADHD. While most productivity tools focus on planning and listing tasks, Pipgro addresses the execution gap by breaking tasks into executable steps, narrowing focus to the present, and visualizing progress through growth metaphors. Emotion-aware planning, adaptive task redirection, and rewards reduce execution stress and support sustained follow-through.

Production Technology
Pipgro is realized as a mobile digital product integrating AI-driven task decomposition, adaptive scheduling, and behavior-based feedback loops. Natural language input is parsed into structured tasks, while user interactions and emotional feedback inform dynamic task adjustment. The interface is prototyped and iterated through user testing, with focus modes, visual growth systems, and reward mechanics implemented to support sustained execution.
Design Challenge
The main challenge was designing a productivity system for ADHD users without increasing pressure or guilt. Traditional planning structures often worsen avoidance rather than support action. Balancing guidance with autonomy, and reducing cognitive load while maintaining progress, required careful behavioral research and repeated iteration. The design needed to support execution without control, encouraging momentum while respecting emotional resistance.
Project Duration
The concept project was developed between June 2025 and December 2025, primarily conducted in Beijing and New Jersey.
Operation Flow
Users begin by freely expressing their thoughts through text or voice. Pipgro breaks these thoughts into small, clear tasks and presents one step at a time. If a task feels difficult, users can further split it into easier actions. While working on a task, if users feel stuck or want to stop, Pipgro recommends simpler tasks to preserve momentum. Afterwards, users review execution and emotion data, receive AI suggestions to improve future plans, and collect fruits to customize Pip, reinforcing motivation.
Research
This project is based on qualitative design research. The objective was to understand why adults with ADHD struggle with task execution rather than planning. Research methods included interviews, diary studies, and usability testing. Participants were adults diagnosed with ADHD. Findings revealed that mental overload, emotional resistance, and decision fatigue are key barriers. Insights led to an execution-focused system emphasizing task decomposition, focus support, and adaptive feedback, demonstrating how behavior-informed design can reduce friction in everyday productivity.
Inspiration
Pipgro was inspired by research and interviews revealing that adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) struggle not with planning, but with task initiation and follow-through. Observing how conventional plan-list apps often increase pressure, the design draws from behavioral psychology and cognitive load theory to reduce friction in action. The growth metaphor and emotion-aware adaptation were developed to support momentum rather than control.
