I've spent the last 3 months build the AI assistant I want to use. Specifically I wanted an agent I could text - that had all the details about me it needed.
The biggest issue I have with ChatGPT / Claude - is needing to chase particular threads so the models have the right context to answer the question. E.g. "What workouts should I do this week?" - depends on knowing workout / injury history. Your ai should just know that.
I niched this down so it "just" does workout / calorie tracking. I think it's excellent but would love your feedback.
Long term the hope is the agent can respond to queries like:
- "Order me an uber" (has your calendar + location, so books you from work to dinner)
- "Order me a meal" (knows you're dieting and gets you something from Uber Eats)
And does some actions fully autonomously
- adds a grocery delivery from Whole Foods to your calendar (using cameras you have in your fridge that monitor inventory)
- Maybe schedules a human to put them away in your house too?
- ingests your email and auto files class action settlements you're entitled to
- does your taxes and auto files them (ingests your cc statements, bank statements, etc.)
A few notable things:
- your assistant get's it's own phone number so you can text it (US only)
Tech Stack
- Basically Hosted OpenClaw (considering swapping to Hermes)
- Next.js + Go + Fargate agent runtimes + Twilio.
- SwiftUI for iOS Apps
Would love your feedback on price - currently $20 a month first month free. And on functionality.

What price / functionality would make this an easy buy for you?
NYC Restaurant Week started - but I didn't like their website. So I built Rick, a rat who knows every kitchen in NYC. You ask him what you're after, he searches, and he physically travels to your pick — walking, Citibike, cab, or the actual subway.
The subway part was the fun bit. `subway.json` is real MTA line geometry plus station data. When a trip is over ~2.2km, it finds the nearest station to each end, plans a direct or one-transfer ride, and slices the true track geometry between the boarding and exit stations — so Rick rides the real line, not a line drawn between two dots. The car sprite is repainted per route color and the active line highlights underneath him as he goes.
Everything else is deliberately small. 636 restaurants in a 509KB JSON bundled into the serverless function at build time — no database. Map is MapLibre with OpenFreeMap tiles. Rick is hand-drawn pixel art rendered as SVG rects. Walking and driving legs come from OSRM, with a straight-line fallback when it times out.
The same data is also a free MCP server if you'd rather just ask Claude — no auth, no API key:
What I like:
The splash page for your website is fun and engaging.
Additional feature requests:
A way to quit the app. I'd like to right click on it to quit it.
The stop start button doesn't change state when it's clicked on which confuses me.
Seems like clicking the stop / start button multiple times breaks the app.
What I don't like:
The download process feels unsafe. Going to a google drive folder and then manually installing feels a bit strange. That said it works.
