HubSpot co-founder Brian Halligan builds 'Hal,' a personalized AI agent trained on his own data to automate daily tasks

@bhalligan That's cool. I did the same to build: https://alignednews.com/ai (my agent reads 30,000 posts a day and picks the best).

I can't wait to see where you take this. I need to do more like this.

@bhalligan is it self hosted or are u hosting it somewhere?? n more importantly how r u managing the cost for running this beast?

@OHB13 Halligan runs on Duncan.

Hal runs on tokens.

@WOwenWebb Here's what's under the covers:

@Scobleizer That's cool...you are always a step ahead.

Yes, I know - I actually nominated your Delphi for the digital teaching award! 🙌 But it seems like Hal will be even better. Would you consider showcasing Hal to our faculty? The wider MIT/Sloan community could really benefit from seeing what you’ve built. Excited to see where this goes!

@bhalligan Wow, this is truly revolutionary-not just for your own workflow, but for graduate teaching and startup coaching too. The idea of an AI proxy like Hal participating in real-time is game-changing. Will we expect Hal in the class for the next cohort?😄🚀

@bhalligan next we need the consumer subscription for open access

@bhalligan @Scobleizer Do you expect Hal to be making decisions, leading?

@bhalligan Hal brought to life with @Anam__ai and added to Zoom. Brb building this for you

@bhalligan I need a phone number for Hal

@hiltinguo Yes, I used Delphi for my office hours. I'm going to move it to Hal next year.

@bhalligan What are you doing with the newly freed up time?

@bhalligan @kippbodnar He sounds oddly like @thesamparr

@SpiceP0dcast @garrettladley Hmmm...he certainly has been trained on a lot of my bloviation about Jazz Mode slash Dorsey Mode. I almost feel bad for him.

@garrettladley Ha. Depends on the situation. He and I are both pretty peace-timey at the moment.

@bhalligan Excited to have a smarter, funnier, and better looking Brian in our meetings soon.

@bhalligan makes sense for mvp but honestly when you rebuild efficiently, what's your approach to the memory layer? curious if you're thinking vector db, knowledge graph, a tier system or something else entirely

building in this space too and that's the wall I keep hitting

@Col_ASY I haven't got that far yet. Still MVPing.

The brain is a metric ton of autoupdating files on Google Drive.
