A (text yourself) personal WhatsApp assistant (www.textcoco.com)

I started to work on Coco in August after seeing how I can improve "text yourself" productivity hacks with my NLP experience.

I text myself a lot and according to reddit, some articles, and my friends, many do the same for quick thoughts, reminders, to-do lists, and other quick 'brain-dump' items. I decided, let's have an assistant to text you back and actually remind you.

While there's a few text yourself apps out there, Coco is the only one that doesn't require any new apps or logging into a website. It's a freemium plan (unlimited free reminders, other features behind stripe subscription) - this is needed to cover per user GPT & WhatsApp template message costs.

Features:

* WhatsApp-native reminders / repeat reminders * Creating and managing lists * Google Calendar access (read, write, modify, delete) * Image / Voice note analysis * (of course) chatGPT-style ask questions about anything * (coming soon) send reminders to others * (coming soon) note-taking and searching over your chat history

Tech stack:

* Hosting on Render w/ Docker + Postgres + FastAPI * Meta API * Helicone for LLM requests tracking

I'm pushing for as much feedback, let me know what you think :)


Not convinced about the monthly subscription since GPT and other apps offer similar features, even if not needing an app is convenient.

Where can I access my account settings and receipts?


We're keeping prices low for now @ $17 cheaper than monthly ChatGPT subscription. Unfortunately ChatGPT does not allow setting reminders + integrating with calendar. Any other apps on your mind?

Account settings are accessed via text (and soon dashboard w/ auto login). Receipts are done over email!


It feels good and fits my daily habits very well

Let me know if you have feedback!
