The details
- What it does
- A personal AI agent that lives on your computer and you talk to through apps you already use — WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord. It manages email, calendar, reminders, and background tasks on your behalf, 24/7.
- Cost
- Free — open source. You do need a subscription to an AI model (like Claude or ChatGPT) for it to actually run.
- Open Source?
- Yes — your data and skills stay on your own computer, not a company's server
- Ease of use
- ⚠️ Requires setup — this is not a click-and-go tool. Very new (launched early 2025). Very popular, very fast-moving.
Best for
- Inbox & calendar management
- Background automated tasks
- Privacy-first users
- Confident tech users
Kevin’s take
“This is the one exploding on social media right now. You message it like a colleague and it goes off and does things — sends emails, checks your calendar, books flights. It's powerful, but I'd call it advanced territory. Know it exists. Maybe wait six months before trying to set it up yourself.”
— Kevin, formerly of IT Support
