Show HN: Figment – An AI that I made my friends talk to for 2 weeks

For the past 3 weeks, I ve been hacking on a personal AI that you can text.It s curious about you proactively figures out ways to help you, while still feeling like a friend.Its personality proactivity is probably what I ve spent the most time working on for this project, testing out a bunch of different models and prompts etc. It has more work to be done for sure, but I kinda like how it s come to be so far!It has its own 24/7 computer and browser (still working on improving its use of them!), with its own curiosities proactivity.For ex, it might decide to surf the web on its own every once in a while, and if it comes across anything that it feels might be interesting to you, it ll text you it.In the past 2 weeks of my friends using it, I ve noticed this particular personal ai setup/harness produce a ton of emergent magical moments that I thought were pretty cool.For ex, my roommate @aadilpickle signed up 2 weeks ago, told it about sfpursuit.org and his sfalexandria.com project during the onboarding, and then didn t use it much, but after like 3 days, it proactively surfed through these sites, did deeper research into his past work, and texted him asking about his `hamburger phone at flippin burger` project that he once worked on with some friends, which was really cool. he felt that to be really magical and he s been using it since then (mostly for reminders etc). :)This project is in a very rough/early state, but i d definitely really love some feedback! :)I also created a Discord community for this: https://discord.gg/8dGBGg6rXu
