Ambient neurostimulation for teams

You've upgraded every tool in the stack. Except the human.

Vayl is ambient neurostimulation — invisible software that smooths context switches and recovers the deep work hours lost to cognitive overload. Nothing to open. Nothing to learn.

In quiet use at teams running Cursor & Claude Code

What your team's afternoon becomes.

The context switch that doesn't break the thread. The flow state that stretches twenty minutes longer. The afternoon drift that never quite arrives. Nobody opened an app. Nobody changed a habit. The difference is simply there.

Switching contexts

Rhythmic stimulation smooths the transition

The next task loads faster mentally

Deep in flow

Stimulation recedes to near-zero

Uninterrupted. You don't notice it's there

Fatigued / afternoon drift

Restorative pattern activates

A gentle reset without leaving your desk

AI made the work faster. It made focus harder.

Every AI tool your team adopts — every copilot, every agent, every AI-powered workflow — adds another context to juggle. The work got faster. The cognitive load got heavier. AI-intensified context switching is the emerging productivity crisis (HBR, Feb 2026).

"The best programmers can maybe only do four agents max at once. As the agents get more autonomous... you become the bottleneck."

Ryo Lu, Lead Designer at Cursor — Feb 2026

The only focus tool with a 100% usage rate.

Because there's nothing to use.

The #1 reason enterprise wellness tools fail: utilization drops below 5% in 30 days. Vayl eliminates this problem entirely — it runs in the dock, overlays every application, and requires zero interaction.

Traditional Focus Tools
  1. 1Employee downloads the app
  2. 2Employee configures preferences
  3. 3Employee puts on headphones
  4. 4Employee remembers to open it daily
  5. 595% stop using it within 30 days
Vayl
  1. 1IT deploys it
  2. 2It runs
  3. 3That's it

No behavior change. No training budget. No adoption problem.

How It Works

Three steps. Zero friction.

1

Deploy to your team

IT pushes a lightweight local install. No cloud, no servers, no permissions beyond the desktop.

2

Everyone works normally

Vayl runs invisibly alongside every app. No workflow changes, no training, no "adoption" problem.

3

Measure the difference

On-device metrics show focus duration, context-switch frequency, and recovered deep-work hours.

The Math

Seven hours.

That's all Vayl needs to recover per developer per year to pay for itself.

7 hrs
recovered per year to break even

Most teams report feeling the difference in five minutes. The break-even math requires less than one recovered hour per month.

Based on UC Irvine research (23 min 15 sec to refocus after interruption) and average developer cost of $83/hr.

Built on science. Measured by results.

"What surprised me is how seamlessly it integrates into active work. Flow states during research writing — hours dissolve unnoticed."
Dr. Nicco ReggenteCognitive Neuroscientist · UCLA PhD

A published neuroscientist with expertise in neuroimaging, machine learning, and consciousness research — Dr. Reggente measured a ~20% increase in his own research productivity after integrating Vayl into his daily workflow.

Built on 50+ years of neuroscience research, Vayl is the first audiovisual method that integrates into visual work.

Everything runs on your machine.

Your IT and InfoSec team will approve this in one conversation.

Raw signals stay in memory

Processed and discarded, never written to disk

Aggregates stored locally

Powers your dashboard and personalizes over time

Opt-in sharing for pilots

Your team controls what gets reported

Every sensor is opt-in

Start with a white-glove pilot.

10–50 seats$50/user/monthDiscounts available for pilot data partnershipsCancel anytime

Your team gets:

  • Dedicated onboarding for your pilot squad
  • On-device install — IT-approved, nothing leaves the machine
  • Real-time efficacy dashboard (focus duration, context-switch reduction, deep-work hours)
  • Direct line to our founding team for the duration of the pilot
Best fit: Teams of 25+ doing heads-down desktop work — especially those already deep into AI tooling (Cursor, Claude Code, multi-agent workflows).
If your team doesn't feel the difference in two weeks, walk away. No contracts, no commitments, no questions.

Common questions

How does Vayl know when someone's losing focus?
How is this different from Brain.fm or focus playlists?
What does our IT team need to know?
Does it work for non-engineering teams?
What about epilepsy or photosensitivity?
What happens after the pilot?

Your team will feel the difference in five minutes.

Not a promise. An observation from every pilot so far.
