Description
Hey, I built text-me because every productivity app I tried gave me one more place to be and maintain.Meanwhile my life actually happens over email, messages, calendar, college, Kindle, reading, and Substack. And I always have to be somewhere else.So now I send everything to one place, like texting a friend. It separates life from work, and every week it analyzes and gives you a place to start instead of another dashboard.You can connect your email and calendar through Plow. It always asks before changing anything in your calendar or sending a message. And the part that interests me most is that I don't have to keep re-sorting twenty things anymore, because it remembers.If I say some activity takes me 45 minutes on average, but I actually take 60, it learns that. So next time, if I write 45 minutes it puts 60, and it keeps adapting my calendar to that. And every morning it can send a newspaper with everything that matters to me: the people I need to answer, what changed overnight, what I have to solve today. It can even send something funny, and that goes to my Kindle.Of course it can go to the printer, email, or the chat, but I send it to my Kindle. It's open source and works over iMessage or SMS.I built it during a hackathon, and it came out of my own problems. Now I want something that learns the real pace of life. I'd love your feedback on what you think should improve.

Could you build this?
Partial Building an SMS/messaging bot with an LLM backend is straightforward, but continuous context ingestion across fragmented personal data sources and adaptive pacing algorithms require complex backend orchestration.
What it would actually take: Requires an orchestration backend (FastAPI/Node) integrating SMS/messaging gateways (Twilio, WhatsApp Business) with third-party OAuth connectors for Google Calendar, Gmail, Kindle/Amazon sync, and RSS/Substack parsers. A persistent vector database (pgvector or Pinecone) alongside a long-term user memory graph is required to maintain context. Developing heuristic or reinforcement-learning-based pacing algorithms to schedule check-ins dynamically based on user interaction frequency is the core engineering challenge.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
