A personal agent that runs on Cloudflare's free tier
A developer released Talorys, an open-source personal agent that runs in your own Cloudflare account: chat with memory, tasks and notes, reminders and recurring automations, deployed with one command. The HN thread has 331 points and a sceptical top comment that few of these assistants show evidence they work.

Why it matters
This is the classic promise of AI agents: a helper that handles errands and reminders on your behalf. Real cases like this show how close that promise is today. It is one of 57 sightings filed under Personal Assistant on Agent Sightings (number 24 by interest), and one of 1 involving Talorys.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Talorys or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Set up a personal assistant I own, with memory, tasks and reminders. Then tell me how you will prove to me that it works rather than just feels like it does.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
