Hi HN, I built an always on always listening AI Agent, here's some backstory:
I've always struggled with the attention problem while developing. Even with agents, I can work fast, but I don't know if I can keep working for long, or if I can come back to a problem once I get distracted. So a little while ago I built Snippet for myself.
It's an always-on, code-first agent based on my own struggles with writing code. It tracks, it remembers, it speaks and it listens. Always on, unless my battery dies and I forget to plug in my charger. When I step away, it holds my place, and when I come back the work is still there, waiting, right where I left it.
I believe for agents to be anything more than they are, they need to be aware of the physical world, of what's going on. I'm still finding efficient ways to build that in, and this is an early demo.
A heads-up: a large part of the codebase is AI-generated. I'm in the middle of a lot of refactoring and developing. It works and it's efficient, but expect some rough edges.
I'd love honest feedback on the idea. If you can, please try it and tell me what you think. There are apps across different platforms for testing it, and I've linked them below.
