AI that can use Gmail, SMS, Slack, Calendar

Hello HN, Dawson and Ethan here from Martin (https://trymartin.com). We’ve been building an AI personal assistant (the elusive dream of a real life Jarvis) for about a year now, and we recently launched Martin as a web app. Watch our latest demo here: https://youtu.be/ZeafVF8U7Ts. We’re starting with common agentic tasks for consumers/prosumers - Martin can read/draft emails, make your calendar, text and call others for you, and use Slack. Like any personal assistant, it can also set reminders, track your to-dos, and send you daily briefings. The idea is to…

In plain words

Martin is an AI personal assistant that manages email, SMS, Slack, and calendar tasks for users. It can read and draft emails, schedule meetings, send texts and make calls on behalf of users, plus set reminders, track to-dos, and deliver daily briefings. Designed for consumers and power users, Martin aims to handle common administrative tasks traditionally performed by human assistants, with plans to expand its capabilities further.

  • Lovable▲1,477

    Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…

  • I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
