Show HN: Prizmi – a proactive AI assistant for everyday life

https://prizmi.ai/
2•hramezani•1h ago
Hi HN, we built Prizmi because we wanted an AI assistant that would i) do real and interesting things instead of explaining how to do them ourselves, ii) act on all our devices, iii) be proactive in true sense, iv) keep us in full control, v) respect our privacy, vi) be easy to set up, and vii) be used by non-technical people including seniors. This is what Prizmi is designed to do: you text it from a messaging app, and it acts for you across your phone and your computers. It's also proactive, so you can set something up once and it keeps running. It also follows up on its own when it has something useful to say.

Some examples:

- "Check my email every weekday at 9am, 11am, 3pm, and 5pm and draft replies for me"

- "Send me a reminder to take my medication every day at 6pm"

- "Look at my screen and solve this coding question"

- "Sort my Downloads folder by file type"

- "Turn on my gmail vacation auto-reply from monday to friday, and write a message for me."

It remembers what you've told it, so if it decides to check-in with you, it would be specific not generic. You can turn check-ins and any other skills on or off with one toggle.

Your chat history and what Prizmi remembers are encrypted and each person's data is kept separate. Prizmi does not click Submit, Pay, or Send; you are the one who makes the final call.

We are bootstrapped. If you can, please give it a try at prizmi.ai (there are demo videos on the homepage and you'll have some free credits to get started). We are specifically looking for feedback on onboarding, things that confused you or you think would be confusing for a non-technical user, tasks that you tried but it couldn't handle, or any feature or skills that you think we should build. Happy to answer questions. Thank you!
