Show HN: Figment – An AI that I made my friends talk to for 2 weeks

subby — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 03:31:43 +0000

For the past 3 weeks, I've been hacking on a personal AI that you can text.

It's curious about you & proactively figures out ways to help you, while still feeling like a friend.

Its personality & proactivity is probably what I've spent the most time working on for this project, testing out a bunch of different models and prompts etc. It has more work to be done for sure, but I kinda like how it's come to be so far!

It has its own 24/7 computer and browser (still working on improving its use of them!), with its own curiosities & proactivity.

For ex, it might decide to surf the web on its own every once in a while, and if it comes across anything that it feels might be interesting to you, it'll text you it.

In the past 2 weeks of my friends using it, I've noticed this particular personal ai setup/harness produce a ton of emergent magical moments that I thought were pretty cool.

For ex, my roommate @aadilpickle signed up 2 weeks ago, told it about sfpursuit.org and his sfalexandria.com project during the onboarding, and then didn't use it much, but after like 3 days, it proactively surfed through these sites, did deeper research into his past work, and texted him asking about his `hamburger phone at flippin burger` project that he once worked on with some friends, which was really cool. he felt that to be really magical and he's been using it since then (mostly for reminders etc). :)

This project is in a very rough/early state, but i'd definitely really love some feedback! :)

I also created a Discord community for this: https://discord.gg/8dGBGg6rXu

Ask HN: Would you pay to discuss a book with an official AI clone of its author?

briangao — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 02:46:03 +0000

When you're deep in a dense book, do you ever wish you could just ask the author something?

If each author had an official AI version of themselves, one they licensed and approved, trained on their books, talks, and interviews, with revenue going back to them and you could pay $15 per book to talk it through in a voice or video call while you read, would you try it?

I'm considering building this and want your opinion. Just asking if this interests people, like would you pay for that or at least try it free or would you just paste the book into ChatGPT for free?
