When you’re juggling investors, hiring, and delivery, memory slips are expensive. The answer is an external brain that captures ideas instantly, surfaces them when the context is right, and keeps stakeholders looped in. These techniques borrow from cognitive science and layer Chaos’ AI so nothing vital relies on recall alone.
Capture on the Move
Voice and natural language first
Dictate “Send investor update when board deck is ready” and Chaos links the reminder to your deck workspace. No fields, no fiddling. Gartner reports that executives who embed AI assistants into daily capture workflows reclaim hours each week otherwise lost to context switching.[1]
Email triage without effort
Forward threads to Chaos or let the assistant auto-scan for requests. Anything with “can you” or “deadline” becomes a task that resurfaces before the promise is due. For a deeper system, pair this with the checklist in our inbox-to-action workflow once it’s live.
Strengthen Recall
Spaced review blocks
Schedule two short “founder radar” sessions each week. Chaos bundles outstanding investor tasks, team approvals, and product work into one view so you can refresh memory quickly. Spaced retrieval improves long-term recall across knowledge work.[2]
Keep the Team in Sync
Context-aware hand-offs
Attach Loom links, specs, and decisions to the task so Chaos can ping the right teammate when dependencies unlock. Push a friendly prompt like “Need Maya’s sign-off before you ship?” instead of last-minute panics.
Let Chaos sweep up the fragments so your brain focuses on vision, not retrieval.
