File everything I text myself into the right category

Shreya Agarwal connected the AI to WhatsApp so every thought, task and reminder she messages herself is classified and stored automatically, with deadlines extracted — a 'cancel the free trial in two months' note becomes a task dated today plus 60 days. Setup took under 15 minutes and new categories are created by the agent as new kinds of items appear.

How it works

Message a thought, task or reminder in WhatsApp
Agent classifies it into a category
Extracts any date or deadline
Creates a new category when none fits
Stores the item in a simple data store

Why it’s worth knowing

The chat thread itself becomes the filing system — nothing is ever sorted by hand.
