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 :)

It feels good and fits my daily habits very well
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!
