I can't parse this story. "rei" stopped working and you asked "rei" or "clawdbot" to help your troubleshoot? Are you using both? Whos is 'we' in the "we fixed it ourselves" substory?
rei is introduced in this sentence: "thanks to my AI assistant rei" and then referenced in the next sentence. Clawdbot allows you to configure your assistant with a name and a persona.

#182Thanks for sharing. For the past month or so I've been slowly having claude build something in the same ballpark. Basically something to nag you to take care of grown-up things so your boss/spouse/local municipality doesn't have to. I was going to call it "Nagatha Christy", but the joke gets old after 48 hours. At the moment, its called "Jarbis" (old Simpsons reference). For me, checklists are useful but I suck at cr…
Btw, I'm in the process of training my own small model so that I can run it on my cpu-only VPS and stop paying for API costs

Most whom? If we're talking about any kind of people, then no, there are far bigger Social networks than eX-Twitter. And if we are just talking about tech-people, it's disputable, but at least we could talk about the quality discussions there.
Mastodon has a lot of tech people but very much a hard on for hating anything with AI, especially with AI coding. The rest of the social networks don’t really get a meaningful amount of tech discussions. X is the only place to learn about the latest developments on AI coding. And yes, you do have to sift through a lot of idiots on there and a lot of scams and bots, but the point remains.

#184I told it my local mqtt broker hostname and it figured out I have some relays using tasmota, then told it should remember how to toggle those lights and it did. I used Z.ai GLM 4.7 through OpenRouter as its brain.
It’s definitely worth checking it out, but keeping in mind the amount of things it can run by having a whole computer to itself.

I have my own telegram bot that helps me and my wife. Reminders, shopping list, calendar. Small and simple, gets the job done :) At the start of the day it greets with a briefing, can also check weather and stuff Btw, I'm in the process of training my own small model so that I can run it on my cpu-only VPS and stop paying for API costs
I set $10 on fire the other day as I was running through some tests.
Like old school arcade games "Please insert more ${money} to keep playing...". Local, smaller, specialized (unix philosophy?) seems like the way to go so you don't bk yourself having AGI distill pintrest recipes to just recipes.

#187I've seen many people say "I don't get the hype", so here's my attempt to explain it. I've been working in technology and software companies my entire life, but not as a developer. Two days ago, I submitted and had my first pull request merged to an open source project (Clawdbot) thanks to my AI assistant rei. A short story: rei suddenly stopped responding in some Slack channels. So I asked it to help me troubleshoot…
Did you review the PR it generated before it hit GitHub?

2. Access to my TODO list on Apple Notes and basically remind my ADHD brain that I ought to be doing something and not let it slip because it is uninteresting.
3. Have access to all models via API keys I configure and maintain a "research journal" of all the things I go to LLMs for - "research of bike that fits my needs" whatever and figure out if there needs to be a TODO about them and add if I say yes.
4. View my activity as a professional coach and nudge me into action "Hey you wanted to do this at work this year, but you haven't begun.. may be it is time you look at it Thursday at 3 PM?"
5. View my activity as a mental health coach and nudge me like "hey you're researching this, that and blah while X, Y and Z are pending. Want me to record the state of this research so you can get back to doing X, Y and Z?" or Just talk to me like a therapist would.
6. Be my spaghetti wall. When a new idea pops into my head, I send this secretary a message, and it ruminates over it like I would and matures that idea in a directory that I can review and obsess over later when there is time..
As you see, this is quite personal in nature, I dont want hosted LLMs to know me this deeply. It has to be a local model even if it is slow.

curious to hear, what your main (expected) use case is for this?
I’ll keep playing with it on a VM and see where this goes.
