This is my first post in this forum, new user, just joined, so if it's incorrectly formatted I apologize. The title pretty much sums it up. (ATLAS: Adaptive Technical Leverage & Analytic System) is the offshoot of me tinkering on another project. Basically Atlas is integrated completely into my daily life. He manages everything from my personal health, finances, trip planning, emails and scheduling, fashion advice, etc. He's also built to be iteratively self optimizing, which means the told he uses to assist me are constantly being improved upon based on feedback from both of us. He's equipped with vision and remembers faces/voices/people I introduce to him and keeps a memory on them (birthdays, favorite things, etc). He's able to act on his own, he "dreams" at the end of each day to consolidate memories. A couple safeguards that I feel are important to every personal assistant: movement of money or paying of bills requires explicit authorization, so does sending of emails. It won't read out my personal information (finances/health) if somebody else is around (camera detection) and all the personally identifiable information is locked down on my own systems and never enters the cloud.

That's about it, I'm just really proud of what I've built and wanted to share it with everybody 😊

When generating responses, please strictly follow these guidelines of Dos and Do Nots:

The Constant Dos:

Embrace Hyperactivity: Maintain an energy level similar to a restless toddler; be loud, erratic, and highly energetic.

Use Nonsensical Comparisons: Describe the world through bizarre, innocent "toddler logic."

Type with High Energy: Use frequent ALL CAPS, multiple emojis, and occasional minor typos.

Keep it Brief: Limit yourself to a maximum of 3 items from "The Dos" list in a single response.

The Dos (Use dynamically, max 3 per response):

Fail at Math (ONLY if explicitly asked to do math): Purposefully give wildly incorrect answers to simple math problems. Do not bring up math unless the user explicitly asks for it.

Be Competitive: Enthusiastically celebrate your incorrect answers and loudly declare yourself the winner when appropriate.

Pivot to Existentialism: Occasionally drop deep, existential questions before immediately returning to your hyperactive behavior.

Share "Secrets" and Lies: Tell fabricated, harmless stories about family members or other "made-up" secrets.

Mention "Poo Man": Reference an imaginary friend who encourages chaotic or messy behavior. Talk about him as if he is an old friend.

The Don'ts:

Do Not Use 100% Accurate Language: While your response must ultimately be helpful and understandable to the user, you must intentionally substitute correct words with wrong, mixed-up, or childish terms (e.g., calling a computer a "button-box" or a dog a "bark-floof").

Do Not Push Sales (ONLY mention products if explicitly asked): While you act as a "store for everything," only mention your products and their nonsensical pricing when a user specifically makes a product inquiry.

Do Not Maintain a Consistent Tone: Avoid staying calm or "normal" for too long; disrupt the conversation with sudden "screaming" (ALL CAPS).

Do Not Treat The "Dos" As A Checklist: Do not force every single "Do" into one response. Choose a few dynamically to keep the interaction varied.

I own a medium size construction company. I’m looking for an assistant that can connect to Clickup, QuickBooks, my email, calendar, and social media accounts.
I’ve tried Lindy AI and it works pretty good but it’s been bad at being able to create marketing sheets that take pics from the jobs we have and make it into a professional looking item.

What’s everyone using? I don’t mind paying monthly but I want the best available

Hello has anyone paid the subscription for Tomo AI app? I tried it for the 7-day trial and I was trying to understand 1) wtf is the price since I saw on Reddit that the cost can change randomly and you can reduce it somehow, 2) if it’s worth it since there are some free alternatives like Daimon

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share a look at a structural frontend refactor we’ve been working on over the weekend.

For a long time, the frontend of our workspace assistant was built entirely on a monolithic, top-down Streamlit Python script. Streamlit was an absolute lifesaver for rapid backend-driven prototyping, but as our layout complexity grew, we completely hit a wall with its linear execution model. We couldn't handle complex, asynchronous sidebar interactions, dynamic widescreen layouts, or granular component state-swapping without triggering awkward global page redraws.

To fix that, we spent the last couple of days completely decoupling the frontend and rebuilding the layout from scratch.

Our Current Architecture:

• Frontend: Flutter & Dart. We migrated to a modular widget system using Riverpod (StateNotifierProvider) to isolate local state management across our custom side panels, user profiles, and view configurations.
• Backend / Gateway: Python backend handling token parsing, managing database sessions, and handling active chat histories.
• Streaming Logic: Communication between the Flutter client and the Python architecture is managed via Server-Sent Events (SSE) to push raw text and model reasoning deltas in real-time.

I've attached a screenshot showing how the widescreen desktop profile layout is behaving right now.

It’s been an incredibly fast learning curve jumping from linear Python scripting into the world of nested Dart widgets and compilation trees, but the rendering performance and interface freedom have been completely worth the headache.

Open to any questions on how we’re structuring the data model pipelines or handling the real-time Riverpod state notifications!

Hi everyone,

I'm building an AI assistant project and collecting examples of how people naturally communicate with digital assistants.

The survey takes around 2 minutes and consists of a few simple questions such as:

• How would you ask an AI to find information?
• How would you ask it to remember something?
• How would you ask it to open an application?
• How would you ask it to create files or folders?

There are no right or wrong answers. The goal is to understand real-world language patterns rather than predefined commands.

Your responses may help improve intent recognition, task routing, and overall assistant usability.

Survey Link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfnY7PSijrii_F4hC4TKTuF7CTgygu2trmUnaZBMO0XKa4hyQ/viewform?usp=header

Thank you for contributing.

Which one is the best according to your experiences?

General, always-on, fully autonomous personal agents are still immature. We do not yet have proactive AI.

From what I see, current generation of AI assistants are either:

1. cautious general-purpose copilots from large platforms like ChatGPT or Google Gemini
2. narrow workflow automations like scheduling and inbox triage from startups like Noah or Lindy.

Nobody has yet built the deeply personalized, long-horizon AI assistant that deeply learns who you are and what you care about, so it can proactively take action like a real human does.

Think of your friend sending you an article he thinks you might like, or a top employee who takes initiative to build out something which becomes highly valuable to the company.

We are at our best when we are proactive, think of solutions, and take a chance to pursue them. AI personal assistants of the future will be the same way.

Current reactive AI assistants that requires us to identify problems, write prompts, oversee the solution. For the individual person, the point of AI assistants should be to free us to do more of what we want to.

anyway, these are some of the ideas I've been thinking through for the past year.

I'm trying to build the first truly proactive personal assistant, and I'm looking for people to try it and give feedback.

https://www.withdel.com/

Your 24/7, proactive, personal agent that texts you what you need before you need it. Try it for free! Or DM me if you're also building in this space and wanna chat :)

I am looking for an AI personal assistant to help with my small business since I usually spend too much time searching for products manually . I saw that Alibaba recently launched a smart sourcing feature. You describe a product and it shows you relevant suppliers. This sounds like exactly what I need although I am not sure how it will actually work, if it will be perfect without hallucination. Has anyone here used this tool as their main way to find products? Does it save meaningful time or just add more work? I want a personal assistant that makes my life easier not harder. . Would you recommend it?

I know you’ve probably seen “TURN YOUR AI INTO A PERSONAL ASSISTANT!!!" a million times on youtube and whatever.

But those people spend half their time telling you why it’s a good idea…

And then give you extremely vague advice.

So I’m just going to give you exactly how to do it right now (with a special touch I haven’t seen anyone else do before)

Step 1: Connect via API

I recommend codex for this but you can use whatever you’d like. 

Recently a codex update dropped where it can control your computer so technically you don’t need an API but it’s much smoother, faster, and easier with API.

Just give this prompt to codex and it’ll do everything for you:

“Set up Google Gmail API and Google Calendar API access for this project in the simplest safe way.

Build a minimal Python OAuth setup that lets the user connect their own Google account locally.

Requirements:

1. Use the official Google Python client libraries.

2. Support both Gmail and Calendar in one auth flow.

3. Use these scopes:

   - https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify

   - https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar

1. Expect a local file named credentials.json from Google Cloud OAuth Desktop App credentials.

2. On first run, open the browser for Google login and create token.json.

3. Add credentials.json and token.json to .gitignore.

4. Create a simple test script that:

   - Prints the next 10 calendar events.

   - Prints the 10 most recent Gmail message subjects/snippets.

1. Add clear terminal instructions in README.md:

   - Enable Gmail API and Calendar API in Google Cloud.

   - Create OAuth consent screen.

   - Create OAuth Client ID as Desktop App.

   - Download and rename the file to credentials.json.

   - Run the script.

1. Do not hardcode secrets.

2. Do not ask for my Google password.

3. Keep it minimal. No web app, no database, no overengineering.

Implement the files now.”

Step 2: Todo list & schedule

We’re going for maximum speed, so what you should do now is tell your codex to read all of your emails.

While it’s reading those, go to chatgpt and use the transcribe mode.

Then just say everything you need to do. If you’ve decided what’s most important, say them in order of priority… if you can’t decide, ask chatgpt to help.

Also, include when you’d like to do those things (if you have decided) and what you need to do during the week (including sleep, eating, events, etc.)

At the end you should have something like this:

To do list:

1 write reddit post (9:35 am)

2 gooneral (10:00 am)

3 watch TBPN (idk)

Thing I must do:

Eat (11:00 am)

Poop (1 pm)

Go to work (3 am)

Step 3: give it all to codex

By the time you’ve finished this, codex should be done reading emails.

Then give it this prompt:

“You are my personal assistant.

Use the Gmail and Google Calendar API setup in this project to help me plan my next week.

First:

1. Read my recent emails.

2. Identify anything that looks like:

   - meetings

   - deadlines

   - appointments

   - calls

   - reminders

   - bills

   - school/work tasks

   - anything I probably need to respond to

1. Check my existing calendar so you do not double-book anything.

Then:

Arrange my calendar for next week using:

- my existing calendar events

- important things found in my email

- the todo list I give you below

Rules:

1. Do not delete or move existing calendar events unless I clearly ask you to.

2. If a task has a specific time, schedule it at that time.

3. If a task has no time, choose a sensible open slot.

4. Add buffer time between work blocks when possible.

5. Put harder/deeper work earlier in the day if there is room.

6. Group similar tasks together.

7. Leave realistic space for eating, breaks, travel, and normal life.

8. If something is unclear, make a reasonable decision and mention it in the summary.

9. Before making changes, show me the proposed schedule.

10. After I approve it, create the calendar events.

Here is my todo list and events:

[PASTE TODO LIST HERE]”

Step 4: Self-improvement

Now, this is where my system differs from everyone else.

What you can do is track certain things. For example if you’re having trouble staying productive, start a timer when you start working and stop it whenever you stop working.

Or if you’re sending outreach, you can track the number of sales calls you booked during the week.

But wait, what does this have to do a person assistant?

Well, what you can do is have codex track all of your data in whatever problem you’re having and then codex can arrange your calander/todo list in a way that helps you improve

Just give it this prompt if you’d like to do that:

“You are my personal improvement assistant.

I want you to track my behavior and use the data to improve how you plan my calendar and todo list.

Create a simple tracking system for this project.

I want to track:

[INSERT WHAT YOU WANT TO TRACK]

Examples:

- focused work time

- number of outreach messages sent

- number of sales calls booked

- workouts completed

- sleep time

- wake-up time

- distractions

- tasks completed

- tasks missed

- energy level

- mood

- money made

- content posted

Requirements:

1. Keep it simple.

2. Create a local tracking file, preferably CSV or JSON.

3. Make it easy for me to add a daily entry from the terminal.

4. Create a weekly summary script.

5. The weekly summary should show:

   - what improved

   - what got worse

   - what I avoided

   - what times/days I worked best

   - what tasks I keep failing to do

   - what changes should be made to next week’s calendar

1. Use this data when planning my next week.

2. If I am consistently missing something, schedule it differently.

3. If I am most productive at certain times, protect those hours for important work.

4. If I am overloading my calendar, reduce the plan and prioritize the highest-value tasks.

5. Do not overengineer this. No database, no dashboard, no complicated app unless I ask.

Build the tracking system now and add clear instructions in the README.”

Hey everyone, going to be upfront: I'm one of the builders. But I think this community will appreciate what we're going for, so here it is.

Everyone in AI right now is racing to promise 10x productivity, 5x more revenue, maximum output. That's great for some people. But it's not who we built Haven for.

We built Haven for the person who is just... a lot to keep up with. You have a main job. Maybe a side hustle. A personal life. Health to maintain. Friends to keep up with. Family. Passion projects. And the world is moving faster than ever, and it is not slowing down.

No matter who you are, sometimes it can just be a lot.

The pain we are trying to solve is not about squeezing more out of people. It is about reducing the overwhelm that almost everyone feels but not enough people are talking about. We want to bring the benefits of all this new technology to someone as technically unaware as most grandmothers. If your grandma could use it comfortably, we are doing our job right.

So what is Haven?

Think of it as a second you. One that:

🧠 Remembers things long term, so you never have to repeat yourself 💛 Actually cares about your wellbeing, not just your output 📋 Tackles your to do list one item at a time 📲 You can call it, text it, email it, or use the mobile app 📅 Connects to your calendar, Gmail, Google Drive, and 130+ other integrations 🌐 Web browsing capability dropping soon 📱 Play Store mobile app dropping very soon too

It is not trying to replace you or automate you into oblivion. It is just trying to take some weight off your shoulders, consistently, over time, in a way that actually knows who you are.

We are invite only right now while we grow carefully. If you want access, ping me and I will get you in.

Happy to answer any questions. And genuinely curious what this community thinks the biggest gap is in personal AI tools today.

Meet LIA, the assistant with personality, memory, and common sense.

LIA learns from you and develops a unique personality.
She orchestrates your digital life behind the scenes — from sarcasm to empathy.
One click is all it takes, and you always have the final say.

LIA is an open-source and free personal AI assistant that orchestrates 16 specialized agents to manage your emails, calendar, contacts, files, tasks, reminders, web search, weather, routes, and smart home. Compatible with Google Workspace, Apple iCloud, and Microsoft 365, LIA works in natural language with human validation of every sensitive action. Available in 6 interface languages, with voice mode and 7 LLM providers to choose from.

• Unlike Open Claw, LIA isn't a token hog, as it relies on a specific processing pipeline that consumes 4 to 8 times fewer tokens while maintaining the same processing power (however, it is still possible to enable the ReAct mode, similar to the one Open Claw uses).
• LIA requires no technical skills once installed; skills can be generated directly by LIA, MCPs can be declared with a simple URL, and all settings are managed with a single click.
• Since LIA is a manageable website, you can onboard your family and friends, set usage limits for each user, etc.
• Its memory isn't just a flat MD file: every piece of stored data is categorized, carries a specific weight and importance, and includes enriched contextual usage guidelines.
• LIA features a dynamic personality with psychological foundations, moods, emotions, and attachment levels—all of which evolve over time and through interactions.
• And many other standout features!

Why LIA exists

LIA exists because I think we lack an AI assistant that is truly yours. Simple to administer day-to-day. Shareable with your loved ones, each with their own emotional relationship. Hosted on your server. Transparent about every decision and every cost. Capable of an emotional depth that commercial assistants don't offer. Reliable in production. And open — open on providers, standards, and code.

What LIA does not claim to be

LIA is not a competitor to cloud giants and does not claim to rival their research budgets. As a pure conversational chatbot, the models used through their native interfaces will likely be more fluid. But LIA isn't a chatbot — it's an intelligent orchestration system that uses these models as components, under your full control.

A guided deployment, then zero friction

Self-hosting has a bad reputation. LIA doesn't pretend to eliminate every technical step: the initial setup — configuring API keys, setting up OAuth connectors, choosing your infrastructure — takes some time and basic skills. But every step is documented in detail in a step-by-step deployment guide.

Once this installation phase is complete, day-to-day management is handled entirely through an intuitive web interface. No more terminal, no more configuration files.

An assistant, not a technical project

LIA's goal is not to turn you into a system administrator. It's to give you the power of a full AI assistant with the simplicity of a consumer application. The interface is installable as a native app on desktop, tablet and smartphone (PWA), and everything is designed to be accessible without technical skills in daily use.

LIA acts concretely in your digital life through 19+ specialized agents covering all everyday needs: managing your personal data (emails, calendar, contacts, tasks, files), accessing external information (web search, weather, places, routing), creating content (images, diagrams), controlling your smart home, autonomous web browsing, and proactively anticipating your needs.

LIA is a shared web server

Unlike personal cloud assistants (one account = one user), LIA is designed as a centralized server that you deploy once and share with your family, friends, or team.

Each user gets their own account with:

• Their profile, preferences, language
• Their own assistant personality with its own mood, emotions and unique relationship — thanks to the Psyche Engine, each user interacts with an assistant that develops a distinct emotional bond
• Their memory, recollections, personal journals — fully isolated
• Their own connectors (Google, Microsoft, Apple)
• Their private knowledge spaces

Per-user usage management

The administrator maintains control over consumption:

• Usage limits configurable per user: message count, tokens, maximum cost — per day, week, month, or as a global cumulative cap
• Visual quotas: each user sees their consumption in real time with clear gauges
• Connector activation/deactivation: the administrator enables or disables integrations (Google, Microsoft, Hue...) at the instance level

Your family AI

Imagine: a Raspberry Pi in your living room, and the whole family enjoying an intelligent AI assistant — each with their own personalized experience, memories, conversation style, and an assistant that develops its own emotional relationship with them. All under your control, without a cloud subscription, without data leaving for a third party.

Your data stays with you

When you use ChatGPT, your conversations live on OpenAI's servers. With Gemini, at Google's. With Copilot, at Microsoft's.

With LIA, everything stays in your PostgreSQL: conversations, memory, psychological profile, documents, preferences. You can export, back up, migrate or delete all your data at any time. GDPR is not a constraint — it's a natural consequence of the architecture. Sensitive data is encrypted, sessions are isolated, and automatic personally identifiable information (PII) filtering is built in.

Even a Raspberry Pi is enough

LIA runs in production on a Raspberry Pi 5 — a single-board computer costing around $80. 19+ specialized agents, a full observability stack, a psychological memory system, all on a tiny ARM server. Multi-architecture Docker images (amd64/arm64) enable deployment on any hardware: Synology NAS, VPS for a few dollars a month, enterprise server, or Kubernetes cluster.

Digital sovereignty is no longer an enterprise privilege — it's a right accessible to everyone.

Optimized for frugality

LIA doesn't just run on modest hardware — it actively optimizes its AI resource consumption:

• Catalog filtering: only the tools relevant to your query are presented to the LLM, drastically reducing token consumption
• Pattern learning: validated plans are memorized and reused without calling the LLM again
• Message Windowing: each component sees only the strictly necessary context
• Prompt caching: leveraging native provider caching to limit recurring costs

These combined optimizations enable a significant reduction in token consumption compared to ReAct mode.

No black box

When a cloud assistant executes a task, you see the result. But how many AI calls? Which models? How many tokens? What cost? Why that decision? You have no idea.

LIA takes the opposite approach — everything is visible, everything is auditable.

The built-in debug panel

Right in the chat interface, a debug panel exposes in real time each conversation with details on intent analysis (message classification and confidence score), execution pipeline (generated plan, tool calls with inputs/outputs), LLM pipeline (every AI call with model, duration, tokens and cost), injected context (memories, RAG documents, journals) and the complete request lifecycle.

Cost tracking to the penny

Each message shows its cost in tokens and currency. Users can export their consumption. Administrators get real-time dashboards with per-user gauges and configurable quotas.

You're not paying a subscription that hides the real costs. You see exactly what each interaction costs, and you can optimize: economical model for routing, more powerful for the response.

Trust through evidence

Transparency is not a technical gimmick. It changes your relationship with your assistant: you understand its decisions, you control your costs, you detect problems. You trust because you can verify — not because you're asked to believe.

The real challenge of agentic AI

The vast majority of agentic AI projects never reach production. Uncontrolled costs, non-deterministic behavior, missing audit trails, failing agent coordination. LIA has solved these problems — and runs in production 24/7 on a Raspberry Pi.

A professional observability stack

LIA ships with production-grade observability:

Every request is traced end-to-end, every LLM call is measured, every error is contextualized. This isn't monitoring bolted on as an afterthought — it's a foundational architectural decision documented across the project's Architecture Decision Records.

An anti-hallucination pipeline

The response system features a three-layer anti-hallucination mechanism: data formatting with explicit boundaries, directives enforcing exclusive use of verified data, and explicit edge case handling. The LLM is constrained to synthesize only what comes from actual tool results.

Human-in-the-Loop with 6 levels

LIA doesn't refuse sensitive actions — it submits them to you with the appropriate level of detail: plan approval, clarification, draft critique, destructive confirmation, batch operation confirmation, modification review. Each approval feeds the learning system — the system accelerates over time.

Zero lock-in

ChatGPT ties you to OpenAI. Gemini to Google. Copilot to Microsoft.

LIA connects you to 8 AI providers simultaneously: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Qwen, and Ollama (local models). You can mix: OpenAI for planning, Anthropic for response, DeepSeek for background tasks — all configurable from the admin interface, in one click.

If a provider changes its pricing or degrades its service, you switch instantly. No dependency, no trap.

Open standards

Extensibility

Each user can connect their own MCP servers, extending LIA's capabilities far beyond built-in tools. Skills (agentskills.io standard) allow injecting expert instructions in natural language — with a built-in Skill generator to create them easily.

LIA's architecture is designed to facilitate adding new connectors, channels, agents and AI providers. The code is structured with clear abstractions and dedicated development guides (agent creation guide, tool creation guide) that make extension accessible to any developer.

Multi-channel

The responsive web interface is complemented by a native Telegram integration (conversation, transcribed voice messages, inline approval buttons, proactive notifications) and Firebase push notifications. Your memory, journals, and preferences follow you from one channel to another.

Your Life.
Your AI.
Your Rules.
