AI Summary
What This Project Does
It is an AI assistant running on your computer that connects directly to your WhatsApp, Slack, and email to handle messages and tasks automatically, with a very lean codebase.
What Problems It Solves
It solves security concerns about AI accessing private accounts and the pain point of existing AI tools being too complex to trust, replacing manual work or untrusted cloud services.
Who It's For
1. Tech users who care about privacy and don't want AI reading local data freely.
2. Developers willing to modify code to customize their own AI assistant.
3. People using Claude Code who want to experience advanced AI agent features.
Typical Use Cases
1. Have AI auto-reply to work emails and filter spam.
2. Monitor Slack or Discord chats to automatically summarize important notifications.
3. Schedule tasks, like pushing weather or news summaries every morning.
Key Strengths & Highlights
1. Runs in isolated containers, so AI only accesses files you allow, safer than standard tools.
2. Extremely small codebase, you can fully understand and modify its behavior, no black box.
3. Supports multiple messaging platforms, configured via Claude Code skills for ease.
Getting Started Requirements
Requires basic command line knowledge, a GitHub account, and Claude Code installed; familiarity with Docker containers is recommended.
Purpose
Ideal for tech enthusiasts who want a deeply customizable AI assistant and care about privacy. Not for beginners who want a one-click install without coding.
