Routines

I asked Muse to schedule repeating tasks that only involve web search e.g., every other morning find sci-fi movies playing in my city, 3pm EST stock market summary, etc.

I’ve paired Fo with my creative director agent and they workshop X posts in my text group chat every morning lmao

have been using both and town blows instinct out of the water on everything:

yes please optimize my dumb routines for me!

Orchid is a personal EA that lives in iMessage and SMS: it texts you your day each morning, drafts replies in your voice, books meetings, dinners and travel after you approve, runs recurring habits, and remembers what you tell it. Gmail and Google Calendar only; no published pricing.

So the truth is, I’ve only used it for one day, but for work purposes, it’s been amazing. I have it responding to basic emails and set up summary reminders every hour.

daily digests can be very useful and @TownAI is the best at it.

I'll use it for my daily mint reminder for now, so I don't miss another presale like Blokyz

I emailed fo, "can you just reschedule my life for the next 2 weeks, only the P0" it asked me if i was okay, and I kid you not, it rescheduled my life, critical conversations, high stakes company building things, navigating life, all done, with just 1 text.

big issue with instinct vs eg @TownAI or my own setups is that they haven't actually set up persistent memory, skills, routines, etc. properly.

Every morning, my Instinct grabs the new emails from my Gmail inbox

a routine i did blew through my credits in like 1 day

@TownAI sends an email pointing out routines that are using an inordinate amount of credits. You click a link, and it opens a chat with Townie to automatically optimize.

Set a routine where every day, your agent goes through all your transcripts to look for every action item, follow up, or thing you're waiting on from your meetings that day.

I have not opened a single email they have sent for a catchup brief (except 1 which I did not like) and they keep sending it.

every morning is great with @try_folk

the first one that genuinely runs my day instead of just chatting about it

Town is a credible AI work assistant, not a dressed-up chatbot.

Right now I’m using saner ai instead of poke ai, because it has the proactive day brief

It's more capable than Poke on email specifically, with prebuilt routines for inbox triage, meeting briefings, and expense logging.

One of my new favorite AI tools is @TownAI . It sweeps my emails, drafts responses, does morning briefing, calendaring, and so much more!

The Text I Didn’t Know I Needed Every Morning

I’m having issues triggering two automations daily do I need the pro for that? All I want is ai news which already has a recipe and exchange rates for the day poke keeps forgetting

The short version: OpenClaw is powerful enough that I now treat it as infrastructure. It is also still rough enough that you need patience, logs, backups and a willingness to debug weird edge cases.

It's the first one that actually works and has become my daily driver.

an AI in your pocket is now better at managing your health than your doctor, your calendar than your assistant, and your money than you.

She manages most of my life now, and I trust her with it unconditionally.

If you couldn't tell by now, I'm a fan of Poke.
