Developer @lxfater shares a hands-on look at Today, a proactive AI assistant that just launched a China version: the base tier is free forever, and new users get 100M tokens — roughly a month of Pro access.
- It initiates, not just responds: without ever being told he's a content creator, it pushed a suggestion to make a comparison video on the Opus 5.5 price war the day it launched, then followed up with Arena benchmark results (Opus 5.5 topping the WebDev leaderboard) to supplement his earlier content.
- Positioning: a "no need to ask" personal assistant with a living memory system that tracks your schedule, health signals, people, and goals across devices — morning briefings, todos, trip planning, language learning, all surfaced proactively.
- Architecture: an interaction model layer, a task-execution harness (planning steps, tool use, progress reporting), connectors for calendar/email/notes/project tools, and a cloud computer that can open browsers and run code.
