We at Qordinate have made a managed version - which works on Telegram, Slack, WhatsApp, and our own app at the moment. With iMessage, Email, Teams in pipeline. Think - if you don't want to do the hassle of managing this yourself, you can offload that to us, along with security aspects of prompt injection, and performance aspects of tool search, etc. If you want to try, it's available for free right now since we are e…

This is such a great tool. The ability to scrape the web for different types of articles and suggest the ones that i would be interested in reading based on my reading history is such a great feature. Really excited to see what more you guys come up with.

Thank you! Yes, the next biggest piece we are working on is autonomous coordination between two Qordinate agents - your true personal assistant, which knows what it can share, with whom and in what context, autonomously.

What I like most is that it doesn’t feel like I’m talking to a corporate bot. The tone is very casual/real, but it still does the boring structured stuff well – recurring reminders, lists, follow-ups etc.

Yes! personality is the biggest piece we wanted to focus on apart from the capabilities of course - not very sycophantic like gpt, but not too rude as well. a balance, if you will. Glad you liked it :)

Have been following you guys and using Qordinate on and off, and I find it quite helpful. I use it for getting the daily summary of my notifications, emails, and news around my interests, and searching things across the apps now. Also, sometimes for maintaining expenses and reading lists. Waiting for proactive actions now, which I feel would move it more towards being an actual assistant that you guys have been pitching for

Thanks! yes! that's coming soon, being tested out internally as we speak.

It's a great buddy tbh... have been using it for my daily plans reminder and also as a task manager. Have never been this consistent with my stuff!!

Interesting project. I've been exploring this space but eventually pivoted in a different direction.

Two main things worry me about the 'always-on' agent approach:

1. Security & Surface Area: Giving an LLM broad permissions (Email, Calendar, etc.) while it's also scraping arbitrary web content is a prompt injection nightmare. The attack surface is just too wide for production use.

2. Token Economics: Seeing reports of '$300 in 2 days' is a massive red flag. For recurring tasks, there has to be a smarter way than re-processing the entire state every time.

I built Daigest to approach this differently. Instead of an autonomous agent wandering around, it's 'document-centric.' You connect your trusted sources, set a heartbeat, and the AI only processes what's changed to update a structured document. It's less 'magical' than a full agent, but it's predictable, auditable, and won't bankrupt you.

For 'gather and summarize' workflows, a structured document often beats a chat-based agent.
