We build in PARA Assistant
Text a thought and it is filed in Notion. An SMS assistant that captures, triages email, and sends daily digests.
The problem
Ideas, tasks, and follow-ups arrive while driving, on calls, and in a full inbox. Capturing them properly means opening Notion, picking the right board, and filling in fields, so most of them never get captured at all.
What we built
PARA Assistant is a phone number. Text it a note and an agent files it as a project, task, or area on the Notion PARA board and replies by SMS. It reads recent email and the calendar when asked, and scheduled jobs send digests and deadline alerts. Anything with consequences, like sending an email or deleting an event, waits for a YES reply first.
- Text in, filed in Notion as a project, task, or area
- Replies by SMS with what it did and where it went
- Reads Gmail and Google Calendar on request
- Daily digests and deadline alerts on a schedule
- Risky actions require an explicit YES before they run
- Every tool call tested against injected stand-ins
Project context
Stack: Supabase edge functions and pg_cron, Twilio for SMS, Notion, Gmail, and Google Calendar APIs, Claude as the agent. Status: runs daily for our own founder; a push-based assistant rather than another app to open.
