# Show HN: Righthand – Autonomous AI assistants with skills, goals, and a CLI > Source: > Published: 2026-06-17 22:52:52+00:00 Hey HN — I'm Julius, cofounder of Righthand. We've been building AI employees (we call them "Righthands") that actually live inside your workflow instead of waiting for prompts. Each one has a name, email address and phone number + unified memory across all communication channels. They run in their own E2B sandboxes, with a filesystem and custom CLI. We built this because of anxiety. Everyone is anxious about something, especially at work, and we realized that a lot of the tasks people are anxious about are trivial things that we just put off. Not for any good reason, but because we just don't do them. The idea behind Righthand is that you should just be able to forward away the anxiety-driving email or call in for a summary of your to dos on your way to work. Real customer uses from the last 3 months: - automated inbox triage - managing maintenance staff for a property in Malta - booking a meeting (hundreds, actually) - booking a doctor's appointment - customized daily briefs Each one of these things was anxiety driving but it wasn't getting done because it was always lower priority than everything else. The last two months we rebuilt the skill system from scratch (Skills V4), updated our pricing model, onboarded more customers, improved visibility into the Righthand's "brain" and onboarded a lot of customers by hand. Other things that shipped: nightly self-review (the Righthand reviews its own day and writes notes), goal requests from inside the sandbox, communication-style presets, Bedrock + Codex fallback routing for over-time personas, Parallel web search, Slack app auto-provisioning via Browser Use (yes, we literally drive api.slack.com headlessly to provision each Righthand its own app — happy to go into why). Trial is card-free now: [https://www.righthand.ai](https://www.righthand.ai). Pricing is $99 Starter / $199 Pro - all with 1 wk free trial. Ask: would love feedback on UI / interaction paradigm. Go through the onboarding and tell us what you liked and what you hated. You won't be charged for 7 days and can easily cancel.
