I've been working on a different kind of life assistant — one that helps in the real world, not just with voice commands or smart speakers.
Andre is a privacy-focused, location-aware assistant that does things like:
Remind you to take care of errands only when you're near a place to do them
Alert you about major events like flight cancellations, gridlocked traffic, or wildfires — and suggest nearby hotels or rentals
Adapt to your real routine, without tracking you or selling your data
It's early-stage, but I'm sharing it now to get feedback, connect with others building human-first tech, and possibly find collaborators.
The site at https://andreapp.org is still under construction, but it's live.
This project is dedicated to the person who gave me the courage to build again — even from a hospital bed. A small tribute, but a real one.
Thanks for reading, Bill
