5 AI assistants you can build this weekend

Not sure where to start with AI assistants?

Here are 5 you can build this weekend — no code required:

1. Research Buddy: Drop in any topic, get clean summaries + sources

2. Writing Coach: Improve your writing in your own voice

3. Content Generator: Create posts, tweets, ideas on demand

4. Meeting Memory: Auto-transcribe and summarize voice notes or calls

5. Inbox Assistant: Draft responses and organize priorities

These aren’t futuristic dreams. They’re working tools.

And you can train them to think like you.

Which one would you build first?

Great question.

I’ve been experimenting mainly with GPT-4 and Claude 3.

For most personal assistants, GPT-4 (especially the custom GPTs) gives the best balance between reasoning, writing quality and flexibility.

Claude is great when I need longer context or more nuanced summaries.

I also use Gemini quite a bit for prompting workflows — it’s fast, creative, and surprisingly good at structuring content.

Lately, I’ve started exploring Goose as well — excited about the open-source potential and how it integrates with Nostr.

It really depends on the task — but all of them can be powerful if you know how to prompt them right.

Are you building something specific?

Thanks for this. I’ve used replit to sketch out a couple ideas I had. One was a budget calculator denominated in #bitcoin. I was thinking about some kind of content aggregator tool to pull together the regular podcasts I listen to news articles etc. definitely don’t think I’m getting the most out of these things. Still learning

That sounds like an awesome start — a Bitcoin-denominated budget calculator is super relevant, especially with more people thinking in sats.

And a content aggregator for podcasts + news is exactly the kind of assistant that can save hours every week. You could even layer some summarization on top with GPT or Claude to get daily digests.

Honestly, we’re all still learning. The tools are evolving fast, and half the game is just experimenting.

If you ever want to swap ideas or test prompts together, I’m in.

Let’s figure this out as we build.

Amazing. Thanks for this. Inspired me to upgrade my replit subscription. I think I got somewhere with the Satoshi budget app. nostr:npub1jeqhakwnjf3hp2y8gv8uly95d7asn64y3y0wex7usl5sye4s9f2sgznmal saw your note elsewhere this thread might be useful for you

Thanks! I will take a look!

Btw, I actually released an expense tracking app denominated in sats on zapstore, if you want to check it out!

There will also be a budgeting tool in the future :)
