Been a user of Screenpipe to build some "Ai-buddies" for me since last year. Core of that is giving AI a look at what is happening in time space. Without Screenpipe this was rather hard to do at the performance screenpipe gives.

That's interesting, thanks! Indeed we did a lot of work to optimize performance and reliability.

I'm curious what does your AI buddies do more specifically and how do you use them?

AI-buddies is now a year old idea and now many other harnesses like Hermes, OpenClaw have most of the same functionality.

Main concept of AI-buddies is to quickly spin up "buddies" who have varying personalities and feel like a real person. Just like real people buddies can talk to each other, share information and have very different functions in your life. For ex a Gym buddy is very different from a "mom" buddy or a Math prof buddy.

Main difference that they are easier to set up for non technical users, and that they can gather input from other real people (for example, if allowed, a Tax buddy can get input from your accountant).
