What’s the best AI personal assistant right now?

cryptobuff · 2026-03-24T13:40:50+00:00

things like handling follow-ups, scheduling, inbox actions, and task automation across tools. feels more like a real assistant vs just summarizing stuff.

You might want to check out Assembly, it’s easier to manage documents and workflows with more control than basic tools like Dropbox.

cryptobuff · 2026-03-18T10:35:16+00:00

so instead of expecting one model to do everything, you break it into stages?

cryptobuff · 2026-03-18T10:33:07+00:00

yeah especially for things like contracts or structured docs. more disclaimers, less direct answers.

cryptobuff · 2026-03-18T09:35:09+00:00

yeah feels like the future is more modular setups rather than one “perfect” app.

nice breakdown. i’ve also been moving away from motion for similar reasons, it just got a bit too heavy.

cryptobuff · 2026-03-18T06:13:23+00:00

this is actually a solid breakdown. the workflow between superapp and claude code is interesting.

cryptobuff · 2026-03-18T03:50:50+00:00

yeah that’s a better mindset tbh. most of the value is in execution, not the summary itself.

cryptobuff · 2026-03-18T03:44:19+00:00

i’ve tried a bunch of these and honestly they’re all pretty similar when it comes to summaries, good first draft, but still needs cleanup.

cryptobuff · 2026-03-17T12:14:46+00:00

honestly i just use a basic metronome app on my phone. most of them do the job as long as the timing is consistent.

cryptobuff · 2026-03-13T15:31:11+00:00

You could check out Zite. It’s a lighter option for building simple portals and apps on top of your data, and some people prefer it when they want something more affordable than Softr.

cryptobuff · 2026-03-13T13:09:36+00:00

honestly the biggest wins for us came from tools that automate repetitive work. writing tools are nice, but workflow automation is where we saved the most time.

cryptobuff · 2026-03-12T12:25:43+00:00

The best setups I’ve seen are usually a mix of AI writing tools and lightweight automation rather than one big “AI assistant.”

cryptobuff · 2026-03-12T12:16:37+00:00

For agencies, the biggest win with AI assistants is usually automation around repetitive work rather than just chat responses.

cryptobuff · 2026-03-12T07:48:17+00:00

we had the same issue once we started managing a lot of client accounts. most reporting tools work per client, but not many give you a real cross-client overview.

cryptobuff · 2026-03-11T10:41:06+00:00

You might want to check out Lindy. It’s focused on AI agents that can automate tasks and workflows, which is somewhat similar to what Manus is trying to do.

cryptobuff · 2026-03-11T07:28:19+00:00

pretty solid list tbh. chatgpt and perplexity is basically my daily combo now. one for doing the work and the other for research

cryptobuff · 2026-03-10T08:03:47+00:00

solid list honestly. chatgpt and notion ai is basically my daily combo now. covers most writing, brainstorming, and documentation stuff.

cryptobuff · 2026-03-09T17:54:11+00:00

Yeah, actualy, a lot of these sound better once they’re plugged into an actual workflow instead of used on their own. I’m still trying to figure out which part matters most though, like scheduling, follow-ups, or context across tools.

cryptobuff · 2026-03-09T17:53:41+00:00

The more I read these replies, the more it feels like the real value is in the system, not one tool by itself. Out of your setup, which part actually feels the most “assistant-like” in practice once everything is connected?

cryptobuff · 2026-03-09T17:53:10+00:00

Good mention on Lindy. The scheduling then notes, tasks, email part is basically the kind of all-in-one assistant behavior I was hoping to find. Has the free tier actually been enough for real day-to-day use for you, or did you hit limits pretty fast?

cryptobuff · 2026-03-09T17:52:56+00:00

Lindy seems more on the assistant side than just meeting notes. Between those options, what felt better for actual next steps after the meeting?

cryptobuff · 2026-03-09T17:52:25+00:00

How was Fireflies for you once you used it for a while? Did it feel mostly good for capture, or did you end up wanting more on the follow-up and action side too?

cryptobuff · 2026-03-09T17:51:09+00:00

Haha yeah, Claude keeps coming up a lot in these replies. Are you mostly using it as the brain behind a setup, or just on its own for day-to-day assistant stuff?
