vellum-assistant

What it does

Remembers preferences, commitments and ongoing work across eight memory types, rereads its own notes hourly and messages you when something is due or unfinished. One assistant and one memory across Mac, iOS, web, voice, email, Slack and Telegram, connected to Notion, Google, Linear and others via OAuth. Run it on the vendor's managed runtime or entirely on your own machine — the choice decides where your memory lives. Pricing is not stated in the README.
