Three months ago we did a POC of an AI assistant that was better than any assistant I've worked with... human or otherwise.
I knew it had promise when I hit inbox zero for the first time in a decade. I knew it could be magic when it did that, better than I could. It created folders, sorted by categories I was too lazy to separate. All in minutes, not hours.
Problem was: it was still just a dumb MCP server connected to a local version of Claude.
Then we had the idea: make it more like a phone call with your own PA.
In a week, we had a prototype that proved the idea.
Could we launch? Did we have an MVP? No. We had a demo. A single-user, local-only, totally manual demo.
So we started building. I hoped to be done in a month. It took 2. But we're finally ready.
Tomorrow we launch https://palpable.io
