I kept losing time the same way: start a long task, walk away, and either forget it or babysit the tab to catch the moment it stalled waiting on a decision. Push notifications didn’t fix it, I swipe those away without reading. So I built a connector that makes the task literally call my phone when it finishes, or when it hits a point where it needs my input. A voice reads the update, I answer out loud, and it hands my reply back to the model so it keeps going. Two things I didn’t expect while building it: A phone call converts attention completely differently than a notification. You can’t ignore a ring the way you swipe away a banner, and it turns out that’s the entire value, not the voice, just the interruption that actually works. The hard part wasn’t the speech, it was deciding WHEN it’s worth interrupting you. Calling on every little step is maddening; calling only on “done” or “genuinely blocked and waiting on you” is the sweet spot. How do the rest of you handle the “long job needs occasional human input” problem, do you babysit it, poll it, or have a notification setup that actually pulls you back at the right moment?
