Stevens: a hackable AI assistant using a single SQLite table and a handful of cron jobs

Somehow, given the title, I was expecting this not to use AI APIs to generate everything.
That being said, still an interesting project - and I suppose could also be run on a local machine without too much trouble.
The “admin view”s for the database and the AI output are so cute and whimsical, will try to learn something from this.
What I find fascinating about this article is less the idea of an “AI Assistant” and more the way a handful of tools can be weaved together into a useful personal tool.
Val.town seems like a great tool for gluing services together. Using Telegram as the UI for input/output was brilliant. Feeling inspired.
This is great, one of the first genuinely useful LLM applications I’ve seen. I think I’ll play around with making something similar this long weekend. I could do with an assistant that warns me a week in advance if I’m going on call, for instance.
I enjoy building small single file utilities that do a single job and run on a cron schedule. So, yeah this kind of ties those all together quite nicely and adds a more sophisticated UI to it than email.
