Show HN: Orchid – An AI Assistant

1•nizzyabi•1h ago
Hey HN! We're working on https://orchid.ai/, a proactive assistant that lives in your messages and needs zero setup / configuration.

Our users are currently using Orchid in 3 main ways:

1. Automations: Orchid can integrate with your tools via MCP and run tasks however often you need to. some cool examples we've seen include: daily email & calendar digests, NBA/F1/Soccer live updates, linear tasks reminders, and email organizing.

2. One off tasks: Orchid can write your emails, coordinate meetings, book your trips, track your calories via images you send it, and even manage your socials. Since Orchid has built in memory, it knows how you like to do things, making completing tasks like this quite easy.

3. Reminders & deadlines: Orchid can pick up on reminders you give it or deadlines it picked up via your email, making things slip through the cracks much less often.

We hope Orchid can give you value and assist you in some way in your life/work.

If you have any questions about Orchid, please reach out! We'd also love your feedback if you've given it a try :)
