AI assistant

 Ok yea million posts like this of course. 

I came across this on hacker news: https://www.geoffreylitt.com/2025/04/12/how-i-made-a-useful-ai-assistant-with-one-sqlite-table-and-a-handful-of-cron-jobs

It reminds me a bit of a prototype I put together where I kinda made a Todo app that saved todos to a file and then could read it as part of its context, etc.

I've also wanted to build something along these lines where I describe what I'm eating and it tosses it in a database maybe with some tags, so I can ask about stuff and it can query. 

I also wanted to do this for tracking exercise...sure a strict webpage/app and UI would be fine. But sometimes just saying hey I weigh x now out loud with one button press .....feels like less friction. Also asking hey how have I been doing for the last month, low friction. 

Pretty cool, so cool I finally just created a discord bot so I could use it similar to the articles telegram bot.
