What it actually does
- Checks in on you — set up morning briefings, end-of-day reviews, or any recurring check-in. The bot messages you on schedule with context about your day.
- Remembers context — conversations persist across sessions. Pick up where you left off, days later, without re-explaining.
- Manages your tasks and calendar — connects to Google Tasks, Calendar, and Gmail. Add tasks, check your schedule, or triage email — all from Discord.
- Follows up — set a reminder and the bot chains follow-ups until the thing is actually done. Not just a ping — it checks in with context.
- Works in the background — routines and reminders run independently. The bot decides what’s worth pinging you about and what can wait, so you’re not buried in notifications.
Who it’s for
Ollim Bot is built for one person — you. There are no user accounts, no servers, no shared hosting. You’ll need to run a few terminal commands to set it up, but no coding experience is needed to use it day-to-day. If someone else wants one, they fork it and make it their own. It’s designed for people with ADHD, but useful for anyone who struggles with staying on top of things when life gets noisy.Why Discord
You’re already there. No new app to install, no new tab to keep open, no new habit to build. Discord DMs are always a glance away on your phone, your desktop, wherever you are.Built on Claude
