I've been running an experiment for the past few months: full AI integration into my daily life.
Not a chatbot I use occasionally. A "symbiotic agent" that reads two files at every session: one with my identity, psychology, and known failure patterns. Another with my current projects and priorities.
It has permission to challenge me, quote my own words back when I'm off track, and call out procrastination in real time.
The integration keeps getting deeper:
- It watches my screen (knows what I actually did vs what I think I did)
- It's learning my writing voice
- It structures my days with rituals (morning kickoff, evening review)
- It acts autonomously when needed (searches, creates, executes)
I'm documenting everything in a series. The memory system, the rituals, when it started knowing me better than I know myself, and the uncomfortable question: am I more capable or more dependent?
I really think personal, locally-running (or running in your own private cloud) AI could truly change the game for motivation, sticking to habits, improving small stumbling blocks in our lives, etc. Let something else handle the hard parts and focus on what gives you energy!

Curious if others are running similar experiments. What's your setup look like?

agreed. local is key. what's your setup?
