Hi HN,

I've been working on a different kind of life assistant — one that helps in the real world, not just with voice commands or smart speakers.

Andre is a privacy-focused, location-aware assistant that does things like:

Remind you to take care of errands only when you're near a place to do them

Alert you about major events like flight cancellations, gridlocked traffic, or wildfires — and suggest nearby hotels or rentals

Adapt to your real routine, without tracking you or selling your data

It's early-stage, but I'm sharing it now to get feedback, connect with others building human-first tech, and possibly find collaborators.

The site at https://andreapp.org is still under construction, but it's live.

This project is dedicated to the person who gave me the courage to build again — even from a hospital bed. A small tribute, but a real one.

Thanks for reading, Bill
