Daimon
a few weeks ago i wrote about how i’m all-in on AI at work but barely using it in my own life… and now i have some progress.
i cycled through many systems and tools, including many variations of AI implementations but they all tend to shape into something that covers the work area 100% but personal area maybe 5% at best. my main problems were inbox zero, follow ups, personal relationships, my personal commitments and curiosities, ideas, accountability on creative and health related goals… and many more. but this time, i blocked a whole sunday to solve this problem and for the last 9 days i’m using what i built that day.
it’s basically an LLM living on a cheap VPS, communicating with me over telegram and has the context of everything basically. it uses git version control to commit the memory, the logs, journal, and many other context files multiple times a day, so that i can spin up a new instance from any point of time in its life. i can even build other tools to map out the progress during its lifetime…
now, the key part was/is how to shape it of course… the shape of its soul. at first i started with some existing tools out there but they were too opinionated which would take too much time to understand and shape to my own needs.
i named it daimon… the stoic concept of your inner guiding spirit, the part of you that knows your pattern. also a nod to eudaimonia, being in good standing with that spirit. felt right.
anyways… i will share more in time, the more i experience it.
side note: i do not like treating my life, a single whole thing, having personal and work, two separate big areas… however, how to put that into words when needed etc. is another topic i’d like to dig into, later…
