# ollim-bot

> An ADHD-friendly AI assistant in Discord DMs, powered by Claude.

You forgot to reply to that email. The task you added yesterday is still sitting
there. You meant to check your calendar before the meeting but got pulled into
something else. Sound familiar?

Ollim Bot lives in your Discord DMs and handles the things that slip — checking in on you, reminding you before things are overdue,
reading your email, and keeping track of what you were working on. It's not a
chatbot you summon when you need help. It's an assistant that reaches out to you.

## 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.
