"defs just jacob's thing but better and applied to more things." the discord implementation: an always-on bot in a voice channel (works when phone is off), running claude code with context (USER.md) and connections. critical requirement: needs to know when to respond and when not to — some "hey alexa" activation tech. it hears everything but only responds when addressed, so you can ask "what was I just talking about before mentioning xyz?" hardware variants include: a magsafe block that records meetings and connects to integrations, and an AI on a smartwatch that integrates with any phone/computer with strong memory and document access. referenced: Omnara (Claude Code desktop/mobile client), pika.me, claude dispatch. the connection from phone to computer should be super easy. connects to the [[brain-rewinder|brain rewinder]] (the assistant IS the memory device), [[axon|axon]] (the memory infrastructure), and [[life-search|life search]] (querying everything the assistant has captured). **spreadsheet evaluation:** excitement 5/10. the spreadsheet notes this as "defs just jacob's thing but better and applied to more things" — transcribes, answers questions, notes good ideas, remembers people. could be $2/day and totally worth it. choose days for it to be on/off. the smartwatch variant (tech depth 9/10) labeled [WRONG FIT] ("hardware + OS level work — way too big for 2 months"). the voice assistant variant (tech depth 6/10) labeled [ARCHIVE] ("huge scope, commoditizing fast"). --- ## timeline - [2026-03-14] always-listening transcription concept — "$2 a day but totally worth" - [2026-03-28] smartwatch variant — complete AI with document access - [2026-04-02] discord bot implementation — voice channel, activation detection - [2026-04-03] magsafe recording block variant - [2026-04-10] google sheets evaluation — 5/10 excitement, smartwatch [WRONG FIT], voice assistant [ARCHIVE]
