Show HN: Omi – watches your screen, hears conversations, tells you what to do

https://github.com/BasedHardware/omi
3•kodjima33•1h ago
Spent 4 months and built Omi for Desktop, your life architect: It can see your screen, hear your conversations and will advise you on what to do next

Basically Cluely + Rewind + Granola + Wisprflow + ChatGPT + Claude in one app

The hardest part was to nail proactivity - after trying 20+ simillar tools I didn't find a single one with smart proactive notifications based on your screen. I made it look at your screen every second with 4 main prompts:

1. Is user productive or distracted?

2. Is there anything useful to say right now?

3. is there any task to add to do later?

4. is there anything important to remember about the user?

Full stack: - Swift - Rust backend - Deepgram transcription - Claude code for messaging - GPT 5.4 summaries - Gemini for embeddings and translation

Open source, stores screenshots locally, uses Claude Code for chat. Has cloud to sync with hardware or mobile app but can be disabled in settings

why cant i just use my own brain
kodjima33•1h ago
You can but don't you think that these days our brains are too precious to think about small stupid things

I'd rather listen to an AI for small things and use my brain on smth big and creative that AI cannot think about
