Most AI today optimizes for speed and efficiency, not for the full spectrum of how people think and process information.
AI tools optimize for efficiency, automate tasks, and save people time. But they also make a major assumption: that all users think, process, and communicate in the same way.
We know that isn’t true.
People’s cognitive strengths and challenges vary widely. Most AI tools rely on detailed written prompts, long paragraphs of output, and fixed summary styles. They use interfaces that expect users to read, scan, and process information in a linear way.
For millions of neurodivergent people, this can cause friction in their work flow.
Walls of text, one-summary-fits-all outputs, and text-heavy interfaces increase cognitive load and often hide the information neurodivergent users need most. They blur key information, and make everyday tasks take more energy than they should.
That’s why neuroinclusive AI matters.
It doesn’t just make work faster, it makes it fairer by flexing to the way different minds operate. It adapts to people, not the other way around.
At Everway, we’ve just unveiled a first look at three new AI tools we’ve created to improve focus, clarity & cognitive performance - not just efficiency and automation.
"When we designed these tools, we started by asking what barriers neurodivergent employees face in typical AI workflows - not what features we could build. As a neurodiverse team, we’re also designing from a range of personal experiences as well as research and feedback. The result is AI that adapts its output format, communication style, and task structure to match individual cognitive needs. This isn't about adding accessibility features after the fact; it's about building neuroinclusion into the core product experience."
Neuroinclusive AI: innovation that adapts to every mind
Thirty years ago Martin McKay, Founder of Everway, embarked on a journey of change. He witnessed his father struggle to communicate after a severe stroke and realized there was little in the way of technology to support him. So he started innovating tools to help people understand and be understood. Today, Everway’s technology has supported over 250 million people.
Now, Martin’s doing it again in the era of AI - reshaping AI, because no two minds work the same.
Many workplace systems are still built around one cognitive style. They create barriers that make it harder for neurodivergent strengths to be seen. Strengths like creativity, deep focus, problem solving, and big-picture thinking. The very qualities that help teams thrive.
AI can help remove those barriers, but only if it’s designed through a neuroinclusive lens.
“AI is a transformational tool, but many AI-based tools are very text-heavy. For people with dyslexia, like me, that's often not the perfect medium. Most summary features also give everybody in the world exactly the same summary. But we're all a little bit different. That’s why I’ve built these tools - to make the benefits of AI truly accessible to everyone.”
These tools will boost focus, clarity, and productivity with:
- Tailored summaries that reduce cognitive load when dealing with large amounts of text. Users can take any text and transform it into a format that suits their cognitive style. From bullet points and mind-maps to skim-reader and easy read formats.
- A communication coach that helps people, particularly autistic employees, to communicate clearly and confidently. It offers real-time tone feedback and rewritten versions that feel workplace-ready. As well as templates for common challenges like setting boundaries, asking for help, giving feedback, and clarifying expectations.
- Step-by-step task guidance built to energize and maintain momentum for all employees. Task initiation, prioritization, overwhelm, and time blindness affect millions of people, particularly those with ADHD. This tool breaks down big goals into manageable steps with structured task lists, built-in dopamine boosts, smart scheduling, pomodoro-style focus sessions and more.

What early adopters and reviewers have said
Tailored summaries
38% of reviewers favored that this tool “Makes content accessible for everyone.”
“I have dyslexia, and it is challenging for me to both read and write.... It’s really great to be able to take a massive amount of text and summarize it into its key points… I find value in being able to set up custom lenses that make sense for the walls of text that I am reading.” - Patrick Ditzler, Technical Product Manager
Communication coach
41% of reviewers shared that they valued this tool for giving “Guidance for tricky or sensitive situations.”
“I'm of Czech nationality, so my tone can be quite harsh sometimes, unintentionally. This tool helps me on a daily basis, ensuring every message is clear, professional, and enhances team collaboration.” - Veronika Watson, Business Operations Manager
Step-by-step task tool
35% of reviewers felt the top benefit of this tool was “Keeping projects on track without feeling overwhelmed.”
“This tool is like having a cheerleader and a coach next to you while you work. Not only to make sure that you're achieving what you want to achieve, but that you're achieving it to the maximum extent possible.” - Anna Sanders, Account Executive
The future of work must adapt to every mind
Across workplaces worldwide, expectations for speed and productivity are rising. But cognitive strain is rising too. When tools assume everyone works the same way, people get left behind.
We’re not building general-purpose productivity tools. We’re designing AI-powered support that’s neuroinclusive by default - crafted to meet the real-world needs of dyslexic, autistic, ADHD professionals, and more.
Right now, we’re finalizing features, gathering feedback, and opening the door for early pilots. If your organization wants to explore how neuroinclusive AI can support your teams, now is the moment.
