    I started to work on Coco in August after seeing how I can improve "text yourself" productivity hacks. Ended up expanding/pivoting to an AI executive assistant.

    I text myself a lot many others do too for quick thoughts, reminders, to-do lists, and other 'brain-dump' items. While there's a few text yourself apps out there, Coco is the only one that doesn't require any new apps or logging into a website. It's a freemium plan (unlimited free reminders, other features behind stripe subscription) - this is needed to cover per user GPT & WhatsApp template message costs.

    Features: * WhatsApp-native reminders * Sending reminders to others * Creating and managing lists (read/write/modify) * Google Calendar manager (read/write/modify) * Image / voice message analysis * chatGPT-style ask questions about anything * Built-in memory (search over your notes and messages from any period)

    Tech stack: * Hosting on Render w/ Docker + Postgres + FastAPI * Next.JS frontend * Meta API * Helicone for LLM requests tracking

    I'm pushing for as much feedback, let me know what you think!
