What if AI wasn’t just about logic, but the messy, emotional stories that make us human?

r/saylocreative is where those conversations are starting to feel real.

Some of the earliest signs? Showing up in communities like r/saylocreative.

hey so i am after completly free ais that are unlimited and are constently updated with infomation of currently running anime and manga such a one piece and can rollplay diffrent senarios in usiverse and i dont mean charecters i mean as in the universe itself

I’ve been trying to stop my day from getting eaten by email, meetings, and random notes, so I went through a bunch of ai personal assistant tools and kept the ones that actually did something useful.

Here’s the short version:

• ChatGPT – My default. Planning the week, drafting emails, cleaning up messy notes into clear lists.
• Google Gemini – Works best if you’re deep in Gmail/Calendar/Docs. Good for shrinking long threads and surfacing what needs action.
• Microsoft Copilot – Makes sense if you live in Windows and Microsoft 365. Handy for “summarize this” and “turn this into a draft” inside Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint.
• Perplexity – Solid for quick research and product decisions. Short answers plus sources so you can check the info yourself.
• Reclaim AI / Motion – Both tackle time. Reclaim auto-blocks habits and tasks on your calendar; Motion turns a long to-do list into a schedule and moves things when plans change.
• Notion AI – Only worth it if your life already runs in Notion. Good at turning rough notes into summaries and first drafts.
• Otter AI– Records and transcribes meetings, then gives you a recap and action items so you’re not scrambling for notes.
• Lindy – Aimed at repetitive email/admin work (triage, follow-ups, outreach). Needs setup, but it can clear a lot of small, boring stuff.
• Saner AI – Built with ADHD-style brains in mind. Pulls notes, email, and calendar into one calmer view and turns loose thoughts into tasks.

What actually stuck for me:

• One general chat assistant + one time/calendar tool covers most of the value.
• Extra tools (Otter, Saner AI, Lindy) are worth it only if meetings, scattered notes, or email are a real problem for you.
• Free plans are usually enough to see if an ai personal assistant fits before paying.

What are you using as an ai personal assistant right now, if anything?

So I have a multi-modal / general purpose AI. While it can be technically connected to any kind of I/O, I’ve got it set up as a chatbot for all intents. In it’s current form it can learn words, syntax, concepts, associations etc. and respond. The thing is that it …lacks personality. It has a cli and a discord bot frontend. the latter so others can potentially try it. besides the chat and DM interface the only “outside” knowledge it has is the ability to look up things on Wikipedia to fill holes in it’s knowledge about the current topic.

It all made me realise that while I have it set up for people to try, it’s really not very interesting.

What could make it interesting? As it is, all you can really do is tell it about things and ask it things. It can follow conversation topics. In Discord bot form it can silently listen to the conversation and follow the topic while learning. But why? I don’t know! Some inspiration would be great.

I just want to make it at least more interesting before re-utilising it’s core for other things that I’ve been wanting to explore like vision processing and automation.

How to build your own chatbot agent?
No code – make
Low code – n8n
Code – Python/JavaScript

Vectior – ChromaDB, Qdrant,, Supabase store

Would you want one? If so, why and with which features (meeting scheduling on Google Calendar, WhatsApp/Messenger integration)?

Hi everyone,

I’m interested in ways digital media can be used to cope with loss and grief. That is why I wanted to ask whether anybody here has used AI when they were experiencing bereavement to recreate or communicate with a loved one who has passed away? Or is anybody considering leaving behind, for instance, an AI version of themselves for their loved ones?

I am a media scholar and any insights, experiences, or pointers would be greatly appreciated and help me understand a little better. You’re also very welcome to send me a private message.

Thanks a lot.

I am not sure if this is a real ai or something he is creating. I have checked the comments for his videos and I cant find any info for it.
