AI that handles your personal chores in the real world
Asmi calls you every morning. You talk - it handles the day. It calls services (dentist, salon, plumber, bank, insurance) or people (friends, colleagues) to coordinate, book or resolve things. Updates you on iMessage or WhatsApp when done. It can navigate IVRS, wait on hold and handle complex conversations well.
Asmi AI is an artificial intelligence tool that manages personal tasks by coordinating with service providers and contacts through phone calls. It provides updates via messaging platforms once tasks are completed, effectively handling complex conversations and IVRS navigation.
Overall, commenters express strong interest and excitement, with some concerns about functionality and privacy.
<p><strong>Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Rishi - co-founder & CEO of Asmi.</strong></p><p>I've built India's largest home appliances company ($500M rev, $100M raised). I spent years at Flipkart building products for 500 million people.</p><p></p><p>This is the most personal thing I've ever shipped.<br></p><p><strong>The problem hit me on a Tuesday.</strong></p><p>I had 12 things to do. Not hard things. Not creative things.<br></p><p>Call the dentist. Fight a charge with the bank. Follow up with three contractors who'd gone quiet. Book a restaurant. Chase my accountant.<br></p><p>Every single one needed a real phone call - hold music, IVR menus, "your call is important to us," the works.<br></p><p>I had Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini open in three tabs. All brilliant. <em>None of them would pick up the phone.</em></p><p>That Tuesday cost me four hours.<br></p><p><strong>So we built Asmi.</strong><br></p><p>Every morning, Asmi calls <em>you</em>. You talk - dump everything on your mind. Then Asmi handles it. Real calls to real people. It navigates IVR menus, waits on hold, does the back-and-forth. You get a WhatsApp or iMessage update when it's done.<br></p><p>No app. No chatbot. Just things actually done.<br></p><p><strong>Week one looked like this:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Called 3 plumbers, compared quotes, booked the best - user did nothing</p></li><li><p>Checks in with a user's mother every day. In Italian.</p></li><li><p>Called 5 resorts to check specific requirements and book a team offsite</p></li><li><p>Photo of food preferences → called the restaurant → order placed</p></li></ul><p><strong>Why now?</strong> Every AI lab built a brilliant thinking machine. Nobody built the one that <em>acts</em> in the physical world. Voice is the oldest interface. Banks, doctors, contractors, government offices — most don't have an API. Asmi doesn't need one. It just calls.<br></p><p><strong>The team:</strong> My co-founder Satwik Kottur is a CMU PhD, ex-Meta AI and DeepMind. He built the engine. I'm making sure the world knows about it.<br></p><p>I'll be here all day. Every comment gets a reply - from me and the team.<br></p><p><strong>One ask: what's the one chore you've been delaying for days?</strong> <br>Drop it below — let's see if Asmi can take it off your plate today 👇</p><p></p>
<p>Well, every real-world task that matters dead-ends at some receptionist who'll never ship an endpoint. You seem to be on the right track with the product. Tricky thing could be when a bank or salon asks to confirm an OTP or the last 4 of a card mid-call. Does it hand back to you live or just drop the task?</p>
<p>Perfect for introverts, but I still worry - will it be normally accepted from the other side. Is it using my voice?</p>
<p>the daily morning call concept is surprisingly clever. It creates a natural habit loop. but can we call anytime of the day in case any task comes up? </p>
