Hyperaide 2.0

Eighteen months ago I wrote the first line of code for Hyperaide. It's been a lot of figuring out, a lot of not knowing which direction to go, and feeling unmotivated at times to even keep going.

Looking at the stats last week though, I saw that over 140,000 tasks have been created on Hyperaide. There is clearly something here worth building. But I just didn't know what that was. It was lost in all the noise and I realized I might be building the wrong thing.

Not entirely wrong. People were using it. But I'd gotten caught in the trap of chasing features. Just building table stakes from other task manager apps without stopping and thinking if they were useful and aligned to the ultimate vision of building a proactive personal assistant.

So a few weeks ago, I shut down new signups and moved everyone to 1:1 onboarding calls. These were really eye opening. Not because of what people said, but because of what they did. They'd gravitate toward certain features without realizing it. They'd ignore others completely. They wanted an assistant, not a task manager.

This is where Hyperaide 2.0 comes in. Not an iteration but a rethinking where the core focus is the AI experience.

It remembers stuff When you say you want it to talk concisely, this shouldn't be just for the next few messages but something that it remembers going forward. Hyperaide 2.0 does that.

It's available where you are One key thing is that if you had a personal assistant in real life they'd have to be available where you are. So integrations to apps like WhatsApp are super important.

It does workflows You can now say things like: "let's do an evening recap of how the day went every day at 6pm" and Hyperaide just knows what to do and does it. "Every second Saturday remind me to do X."

These are just a few examples of how Hyperaide 2.0 is going to be different. I'm no longer building a task manager that happens to have AI. I'm building an AI assistant that happens to manage tasks.

Just wanted to let you know about the direction that Hyperaide is going in. The ship is still sailing, but we've left the familiar waters. We're heading for open ocean now!
