I use it, but it feels half-baked. And seemingly more so with each successive release, often including changes that just break my existing setup. I don't feel like a tool that is ready for a non-developer audience.

That said, it does a few things for me that are useful. I have it run a nightly scan of Hacker News and Twitter for topics that interest me, summarizing the stories and the conversations around them. It's a nice daily digest. It also reads my personal email account, reminding me of anything I need to take care of that day for my kids, bills, or whatever else I need to worry about. I also have it do nightly builds for something random, one with codex, one with a local model, and run a comparative analysis between the two implementations.

I'm an engineer at Town (town.com) -- morning briefing + email digest is literally a stock workflow we ship. You connect your accounts and it just runs. No self-hosted stack to babysit, so it doesn't break when we push updates (that was a fun problem to solve on our end tbh). Free right now if you want to try it.
