What makes it different from ChatGPT/Claude: - It connects to your actual messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Signal) - It has 800+ skills that do real things (control smart home, manage calendar, send emails) - It runs on YOUR machine - your data stays local - It can proactively reach out (reminders, alerts, monitoring)
Think of it as Jarvis but open-source. Featured in WIRED, has a Wikipedia page.
Tech stack: Node.js, works with Claude/GPT/Gemini/local models. MIT licensed.

Happy to answer any questions!
Shall we take this to the front of HN and talk about the slop problem and the possibility for a new "channel" like `Vibe HN` or `Slop HN` (neither are great imo)?
Side quest, aren't you also the creator of skillforge?
