Developer Builds WhatsApp AI Assistant to Control PC at Half a Cent per Task
marcellopato · reddit · 2026-08-05
A developer shared an autonomous AI assistant project. The assistant not only interacts with users via WhatsApp but also executes commands and automates tasks directly on the user's PC.
The most compelling aspect of the project is its extremely low operating cost, with each task costing only about half a cent. This provides a highly valuable use case for indie developers looking for low-cost, cross-platform personal automation solutions.
