Show HN: Ami – A local, open-source agent that does your busywork across apps

Hey everybody, sharing Ami on HN today.

Ami is an open source, local-first agent harness that acts as your shadow worker and copilot chat. It ships with a graph memory.

Here's what Ami does on its own -

- connects to apps, data, repositories, tools with your personal tokens

- Learns how you do tasks (execution style, decisions, anti-patterns)

- Learns how you communicate (external and internal)

- maintains a universal to-do list

Here's how you use Ami -

1. You can execute busywork. It fetches and executes tasks autonomously in your style, asks approval before risky actions, gives deliverables, drafts replies / emails / ticket updates.

2. You can execute copilot chats. Use it to ask questions, fire off ad-hoc tasks, create to-dos, update memory.

Ami was built for internal use. My team found it useful, so we wanted to share it here. It's still in development stage, and we might push a more stable release soon. It constructs a context graph memory of you, with entities, relationships, feedbacks, decisions, writing styles maintained in memory so it can get more autonomous the more you use it.

Few examples where Ami helped me this week -

1. fetched a bug report from slack, created fix PR autonomously which I merged, verified fix is working.

2. debugged a traffic spike on our new blog.

3. turned a sales POC into an order form draft using recently signed forms.

4. nailed down metrics definitions from notion and created a dashboard.

5. closed out my day by auto-updating Linear tickets based on slack activity.

Any feedback is most welcome.
