Summary

A veteran developer built 'blackcat', a personal AI agent that locally indexes WhatsApp, Telegram and Gmail data with vector search, generates daily briefings, and supports plugins like Home Assistant and UniFi—developed with Claude Code over a few weekends.

I tried organising my personal life with openclaw and claudeclaw but didn't like it very much. I been coding for over 30 years so I figured I should build one myself. It would have taken me months but with claude code I was able to do it in a few weekends. It essentially keeps a local copy of messages from whatsup, telegram, Gmail ( mail and calenders) , creates a vector index so that its searchable. I can create schedules to periodically scan and make daily briefings, reminders etc. I made a plugin interface so it was easy to integrated home assistant, unifi network, remote ssh, allsky so far. I will post the github link in the comments. It has demo gifs.
