Gerry is a gorilla in a puffer jacket and a party hat. He is also my assistant, and I talk to him every day.
What he does
- Answers questions about your own life out loud: how you slept, what is due, what is next
- Knows how you work, and gives you one next action instead of a menu of six
- Writes back when you tell it something, so your records update by talking
- Says what it cannot see yet instead of making something up
Why a character, and not a chatbot
A chatbot knows what it read on the internet. An assistant knows you slept 5h40 last night and the MOT is due on the 14th, because it reads a record you own.
The character is what makes you keep using it. You come back to something you like talking to. A nudge in a voice you picked lands better than a notification. And it is fun to show people, which is how I ended up making videos about a gorilla.
What you will build
No coding experience needed. You describe what you want and an AI tool writes it.
What he costs
About $17 a month for Gerry himself, on the best model. The whole AI bill, background jobs included, runs about $80 a month if I leave it alone. See the real bill and how to keep it down.
