When your brain works differently, AI isn’t a luxury—it’s accessibility
AWS Machine Learning Andrew Johnston
A neurodivergent software architect built an AI-powered system using Amazon Quick and custom integrations to compensate for executive function gaps by automating email triage, task prioritization, and follow-up management without requiring manual maintenance. The system reduces inbox processing from 45 minutes to 6-13 minutes and has eliminated dropped follow-ups entirely over the past month, representing the first organizational system the author has sustained beyond 10 days. The approach treats AI not as a productivity enhancement but as accessibility infrastructure that offloads thinking tasks while requiring minimal initiation effort, allowing neurodivergent professionals to focus cognitive resources on the actual work rather than administrative overhead.
Why it matters
In this post, I share how AI serves as an accessibility tool for neurodivergent professionals. The system is built on Amazon Quick on your desktop, an AI-powered desktop and web assistant that compensates for executive function gaps every day.
