Good Assistant is my passion project. I wanted a human-like assistant that would bring structure to pursuing my goals. Things like learning a language or taking my startup to the next phase. It felt like AI was there in terms of capability, but products like ChatGPT went in a different direction.
I started in early 2025, released the first version in early 2026, and kept working to reach the level of usefulness I imagined from the start. Version 2 adds tasks, reminders, and a new structure for your work on the goals that matter to you. Every morning, your assistant suggests things to do based on your existing tasks and all other context. So that you move forward to where you want to be, without being overwhelmed by unfinished tasks that accumulated in your inbox.
What makes it different from other AI apps:
Memory. Good Assistant has many constantly maintained memory layers, static and dynamic. The result is an assistant that remembers what you mentioned once a year ago, naturally, without asking. The rich memory accounts for the majority of tokens used, which is also why it costs $29/month.
Native integration. Tasks, notes, goals, reminders, and calendar are woven into the app on all levels. With other AI tools you can connect these via MCP, but in practice you have to instruct the AI to use them. Good Assistant reads your tasks and notes on its own and uses that knowledge to be more helpful.
It's proactive: it messages you during the day whenever it's helpful based on context, and it knows your schedule, so the planning stays realistic even when tasks pile up.
There's a 1-week free trial. I'd love to hear what you think!

I use Good Assistant for awhile now. 463 days to be exact, it's pretty cute how you can see your "Days with Kiki" (or whatever your assistant is called) in the app.
Among the recent updates I'm really happy about how the desktop layout turned out. Working on a note or task on the left, and having a chat on the right is super-handy. The design is light, and allows for a lot of mindspace to think about what I need to think about.
Any planned updates for the notes formatting possibilities? e.g. the ability to create a table?
I also really like how I can "cowork" on the note with the Assistant. But I would like the possibility to protect some parts of the note from being edited by an Assistant when I ask it to do something. Sometimes the note ends up reformatted when Assistant touches it.
@yulia_ruda1 Great that you're already using and liking the updates! It was my goal to make the design light enough for the app to never feel too busy, I'm happy that's true for you.
Notes is where biggest updates are coming soon. I am planning the redo the text-editing completely, so it's more reliable and better to use, that will affect both iOS and web. Creating tables won't be supported for a while. But there will be new features related to working on notes together with your assistant. Like the assistant automatically knowing which note you're looking at, better indication when they are editing your note and other improvements that will make it easier to use and more understandable.
