Description
inkling is an open-source, private personal AI assistant that lives in your WhatsApp. Add inkling to any WhatsApp chat, then text or voice-note it like a friend. It suggests spots, runs polls, finds a time that works for everyone and sends the invites. Open source: self-host it, and nothing trains on your chats.
