Lately, I’ve been setting up a little system at home that helps me stay connected and a little more organised. I am calling the system home-bot. It started small, but it’s growing into something quite fun.

At first, I synced all my contacts from Google into a database. Then, I used a WhatsApp BOT to pull in details like emails and other info about the people I talk to. But WhatsApp came with its own limits, costs and heaviness, so I switched to Telegram. It’s free, flexible, and just works.


One of the first things I built is I can now chat to my Telegram bot to update my slack status.

Just typing something like:

coffee @quilt

Will update my Slack status in the `@quilt` workspace to "Coffee".

Since I’m part of multiple developer communities on Slack (and don’t want to bug everyone with personal updates), I can choose which workspace to update using that @ mention.

And when I’m done?

clear @quilt

Removes it. Like magic and I am loving it ✨

I call this project Everything Everywhere All At Once, because that’s exactly what it feels like. One place, one system, handling all the little threads of communication and connection in my life.

The system also build documentation itself, automatically using KK as I push changes to github. (will write more once its complete).

I’m slowly turning home-bot into something that just fits around me.

  • Talking to it using voice (via Whisper API)
  • Syncing core memory photos I'm fond of
  • Little nudges and logs that make sense only to me

Not trying to build a Business. Just something small, helpful, and personal.

Everything, everywhere, at once - just for me(for now).
