Excited to spill the beans…. So fun chatting with @kyurieff and can’t wait to see what you’re cooking!

Everything I say is a joke Unless you agree And in that case Speak to me privately I have even crazier ideas

[Ann Baum @anngbaum]

I’ve been calling it Bert and it’s been a huge help to me so I figured I'd release it open source.

Also if you have similar workflows or feature requests, I'd love to see :)

Every week I forget to reply to at least one important text.

I thought Siri would be smart enough to help me by now, but it isn't.

Someone texts me an address, a time to meet up, or asks me a question - and it just disappears into my inbox.

So I built a Mac app to catch that.

[Ann Baum @anngbaum]

The tech specs:

- Native Mac app (macOS 13.2+)
- Local PGLite db with vector + full-text search indexing
- Works directly with Claude or OpenAI (your key)
- Ships with an MCP server so it plugs into Claude Code
- Fully open source

@ryanolsonk @retrodotapp Awesome!!! Congrats!!

This is one of the coolest tools and best announcements that I've seen in a while.

The idea of building for your mom is something that resonates deeply. We built Spillt – a recipe app – with exactly our mom in mind.

She's an excellent cook, and also an extremely successful and busy litigator. She's incredibly smart, and that's why we needed to build something that respected her time – and her schedule – by being easy to use on the go.

I love Zo's framing of building something for busy moms. It forces us to design better – not dumber.

I just started setting up Zo yesterday and have been blown away. Really excited to see what the team builds here – great work.

[ben guo 🏇 @0thernet]

today we're announcing @zocomputer.

when we came up with the idea – giving everyone a personal server, powered by AI – it sounded crazy.
but now, even my mom has a server of her own.

and it's making her life better.

she thinks of Zo as her personal assistant. she texts it to manage her busy schedule, using all the context from her notes and files. she no longer needs me for tech support.

she also uses Zo as her intelligent workspace – she asks it to organize her files, edit documents, and do deep research.

with Zo's help, she can run code from her graduate students and explore the data herself. (my mom's a biologist and runs a research lab. hi mom)

Zo has given my mom a real feeling of agency – she can do so much more with her computer.

we want everyone to have that same feeling. we want people to fall in love with making stuff for themselves.

in the future we're building, we'll own our data, craft our own tools, and create personal APIs. owning an intelligent cloud computer will be just like owning a smartphone. and the internet will feel much more alive.

THIS ONE'S FOR YOU MOM ❤️

@saltcod @maddiedreese @rajab_2 What a fun day! So nice to meet you and the team — thanks for a great conference!

[Ann Baum @anngbaum]

@saltcod if only there were a hybrid search-powered recipe database built on Postgres.......

[Ann Baum @anngbaum]

one more that I was using today and thought "that works really well" – sentry logs

I like that they have typeahead (vs trying to scroll to find the column in question) and everything just feels clickable in the right places (e.g. adding additional values). I also like the preview of possible values – esp helpful when I can't remember the defined types (e.g. I'm trying to filter events table by "blogger_publication" and can't remember exact type)

Happening today!

[Ann Baum @anngbaum]

Come join us!

We 💚 @supabase at @SpilltApp – it quite literally powers everything we do.

Event will be at @PubKey_NYC

[Jostten @JosttenSackitey]

@anngbaum Hope I can filter to only see lentil recipes that are 6’+ feet tall 😂

Awesome refresh and cool to see more of the behind the scenes of how it works

[Ann Baum @anngbaum]

@JosttenSackitey LOL excellent crossover…. we should add a filter for Spicy Single Servings Near You

[Ann Baum @anngbaum]

Tinder, for recipes 🔥👩‍🍳 now with filters!

We used an AI pipeline to tag and categorize our database of over 350k recipes.

Gruesome detail below.
