I built an AI agent that reaches out to YOU — using the plan you already pay for

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Ali — solo founder and the maker of myHermy. We go live in under an hour, and I wanted to share the story behind this before the launch kicks off.

🤔 The problem I kept running into

I was paying for ChatGPT Plus AND Claude Pro. Every morning I'd open a browser tab, start a new chat, and ask for a briefing. Then forget. Then start again tomorrow.

The AI was smart. But it was passive. It only worked when I showed up.

I didn't want a chatbot. I wanted an agent that had my back — something that would ping me on WhatsApp with my morning briefing, remind me of a deadline before I missed it, and follow up without me having to remember to ask.

That thing didn't exist. So I built it.

⚡ What myHermy actually does

myHermy is a personal AI agent that runs 24/7 on a private cloud server — YOUR server. It:

→ Reaches out to YOU (not the other way around)

→ Works on WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord & Slack

→ Connects to the ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or Grok plan you already pay for

→ Zero setup — live in minutes, daily backups, your data stays yours

The key insight: you don't need more AI. You need a persistent runtime that makes your existing AI subscription actually earn its keep.

💡 The BYOP model (Bring Your Own Plan)

Most AI agent tools charge you for their own LLM layer — so you end up paying twice. myHermy doesn't do that. You connect the frontier AI plan you already subscribe to, and myHermy handles everything else: the always-on server, the messaging integrations, the agent logic, the scheduling.

You own the server. You own the data. You just finally get to use your AI plan to its full potential.

🙋 A question for you

What's the one task you wish your AI would just handle proactively — without you having to open an app and ask?

Drop it in the comments. I read every reply and I'd love to build the next use case around what this community actually needs.

Thanks for being here for the launch 🚀
