Show HN: VeryBot – Self-hosted AI assistant for work

1 point

3 months ago

I built VeryBot because I was tired of juggling ChatGPT + Trello + cron jobs + Slack bots as separate tools. I wanted one self-hosted assistant that could actually do work, not just answer questions.

What it does:

- Chat with an AI assistant that creates tasks, teams, and schedules from conversation

- Kanban board the assistant can populate and update

- Scheduled automation (recurring reminders, follow-ups) without external cron

- Playbooks: save workflows (onboarding, incident triage, release checklists) and rerun them

- Connect Telegram, Discord, Slack, or WhatsApp as channels

- Mobile-friendly UI, same interface from desktop or phone

All data stays local under ~/.verybot. MIT licensed. Node.js >=22.

    npm install -g verybot && verybot

Open http://localhost:28789, pick a model provider in Settings > Agent, and try: "Set up a team and starter tasks for launch planning."

Happy to answer questions and hear what's missing.
