I use Claude Code for everything. Thinking, planning, strategizing, and of course writing code. It's deeply integrated in my life, and I've come to trust its judgment in a startling variety of situations.
But it's locked in my laptop. I'm a bit ADHD and I live by my to-do list, and nowadays that list is a file on my laptop. Claude and I work on it together as a team and we get things done in a way I never did before. But I cannot always be on my computer. I'm driving or I'm in a conversation and something pops up I need to remember and it slips through the cracks. I need Claude to be out in the world with me, everywhere, all the time.
That's what I built. That's Stumpy. It's an AI agent that lives in your phone, in your Slack, wherever you need it. You tell it what you need to remember and it remembers. You hold up your Apple Watch and say "remember to call so-and-so on Friday" and it's done.
It's not just a chatbot you talk to and ask questions. It can do things in your world. Connect it to your calendar and it can set up meetings. Connect it to your email and it can triage your inbox, draft responses, filter through the noise. It can show up in Slack as a bot and be part of your team's conversation. Same with Telegram. Or SMS.
And it's all the same agent. You tell it something on Slack, and it remembers when you ask about it via SMS later. Same person, different room.
It's not a genius, but it's a plucky little assistant that'll keep plugging away, doing its best. It knows how to do the job. But when you want something done differently, just say so and it adjusts. It's happy to do things your way. Over time you learn what it's good at and how it fits into your life.
It's kind of an experiment. It's something I'm putting out there for people to use and see what they can do with it. I figured out how to use it for me, and other people will figure out how to use it for them. The pieces are there for you to play with.
It's free for light use. You can go make your own agent right now at stumpy.ai. If people want to use it a lot, I'll add a way to pay to do that. But this isn't a big corporate enterprise. No employees, no investors, no pressure to take it in any particular direction. I just want it to exist in the world.
I didn't want to name it Cyberdyne Systems 2000 or whatever, some aspirational, important, responsible sounding name. I gave it a silly self-deprecating name like Stumpy so people feel free to just try it. It's not a scary AI thing taking over their lives. It's just a hardworking little buddy that's going to jump in and help out.
Feel free to try it and tell a friend. And email me at preston@stumpy.ai - I'd love to hear how you use it.
