Ask HN: Do you use personal AI Agents?

I set up an MCP for jira, to hopefully avoid me from ever opening jira again.

i will just talk to the LLm, and ask it to set a task to in progress, tell me what to work on next, add tasks to sprints, tag tickets with labels / link them to epics, search for issues, create bugs / tasks etc

seems mildly helpful, with some slack mcp etc it could be useful for teams i think

i really don't want to just buy an agentic workflow from a website, so its important that i can just replace the model with whatever and that i have control of the mcp server

Well I have a very specific use case. Me an my team made like this shared memory for LLMs: So an llm makes an mcp call to our api with a general question. An ai agent on our side determines which tools to call (search, graph exploration, etc) to find memory "fragments" based on tags and semantic search. and then the ai agent determines if the content of the "memory fragment" is relevant to the initial question and then it returns it.

My approach is looking for things that need a level of fuzzy logic. It can be as basic as do any of the subject lines in an inbox have some variation of ‘looks important’. I’m less sold on them doing much of anything reliably at the moment though.

I'm implementing a personal AI agent that is fully local inference with external memory that has access to my meetings, notes, Slack and Google Docs. Initially, it replaces Fireflies to capture notes from meetings and Slack.

Personal AI agents are for laymen who do not know how to code. It is overkill for most ppl here

helps a lot in social marketing efforts for me

No.
