Coincidentally, I want this AI assistant as well. I built a proof of concept and it worked really well, so I'm building a more multi-user version so my friends can use it as well.

The really nice thing about it is that I gave it memory, so a lot of these behaviours are just things you teach it. For example, I only programmed it to be able to read my calendar and add events, and then told it "before you add an event, check for conflicts" and it learned to do that. I really like that sort of "programming by saying stuff" that LLMs enable.

I'm looking forward to seeing where this experiment goes, email me if you want access/want to discuss features. I don't know if I'll open it up to everyone, as LLMs are costly, but maybe I could do a "bring your own key" thing.

Do you have a demo of it one can check?

I only started working on it on Saturday, so nothing very useful yet. It's at https://www.askhuxley.com/ and I want to focus on making something really useful instead of on monetization, so you'll have to bring your own API key, but I'd love it if you wanted to bounce some ideas and use cases off each other. I know what things are useful to me, but I don't know what's useful to other people, and I'd love to get new ideas.

Feel free to email me (email in profile) if you'd like to try it out. Right now it only does weather and Google Calendar, but adding new integrations is easy and the interesting thing is the fact that it can learn from you, and will behave like a PA would, while also being proactive and messaging you without you having to message it first.

I did make a prototype a while ago, which I integrated with a hardware device, and that was extremely useful, being able to do things by me teaching it. For example, it only had access to my calendar and its memories, but I told it (in chat) to check for and notify me of conflicts before adding an event, and told it the usual times of some events, so then I'd say "I'm playing D&D on Thursday" and it would reply with "you can't, you have an appointment at 8PM". This sounds simple for a human, but the LLM had to already know what time D&D was, that it's something I can't do during appointments, and that I wanted to be informed of conflicts, which are all things that I didn't have to program, but just instructed the LLM to do.
