The Greetings
A big hello to all Product Hunters out there! π My name is Tiago and I'm the CEO of TheLibrarian.io. We're really excited to make our debut in Product Hunt and hope that you will give our WhatsApp AI Assistant a try. Also looking forward to reply to any questions or feedback, even if negative, as that's the only way we can improve.
The Pain
I'm someone who hates inefficiencies, so I was blown away when I came across research by IDC and McKinsey where it was concluded that professionals spend ~60% of their work week in peripheral tasks (eg Email, Searching for Info, Scheduling / Attending Meetings) leaving only ~40% for Role-specific Tasks.
The Solution
So my Team and I took the challenge of changing the status quo. After almost a year of very hard work, we're proud to introduce TheLibrarian.io to the world. It's a ππ‘πππ¬ππ©π© ππ ππ¬π¬π’π¬πππ§π designed to help you Master Your Inbox, Control Your Schedule, and Find Anything You Need - so you can focus on what truly matters.
It seamlessly integrates with all your ππ¨π¨π π₯π ππ©π©π¬ (ππ¦ππ’π₯, ππ«π’π―π, πππ₯ππ§πππ«, ππ¨π§πππππ¬), ππ₯πππ€, ππ§π ππ¨ππ’π¨π§ with Apple and Microsoft coming soon, driven by user demand.
The Features
TheLibrarian.io does much more than sending emails, scheduling meetings, or retrieving files and messages, but here are some of the things our users love and cannot live without:
1. Morning Briefs: start your day with a clear, concise overview of whatβs ahead. Your meetings, tasks, and prioritiesβall in one place.
2. Voice Commands: whether youβre driving or walking, simply tap the mic button on WhatsApp and dictate your instructions.
3. Memories & Facts: it remembers everything about you, from your home to the office addresses, default Zoom link, email signature, and more.
The Pricing
TheLibrarian.io is 100% free to use with some Advanced Premium features (eg multiple accounts, customised email signatures) planned for later this year.
The Security
We're Google CASA Certified with robust data encryption (both in transit and at rest) and stringent privacy controls to protect all user interactions and data. More info available here.
The Feedback
When building a new tool, embracing all feedback, even the negative, is essential. So please do not hesitate to leave a comment here or, if you prefer, to send an email to support@thelibrarian.io - we would love to hear from you!

@thisiskp_Β thank you KP, I think you have captured really well the essence of what TheLibrarian.io is all about. and yeah, the team and I will be around all day to reply to any questions or feedback you may have! π
HabitGo
Love the idea of using WhatsApp as a productivity hub! The morning briefs and voice commands sound especially useful. Excited to see how TheLibrarian evolves β congrats on the launch! π

@kui_jasonΒ thank you so much for the review. Yes, we think that WhatsApp can be a great channel to get stuff done while on the go or away from the computer without having to open any apps. Would love to have you as a user and give me some honest and constructive feedback? I have to agree that the Morning Briefs have a huge success with our users and the Voice Commands have been growing on me and I use it more and more. Even for a corner use case which is, when someone sends me a voice message on WhatsApp now I just forward it to TheLibrarian and ask it to summarise what the person said. π
Using The Librarian has truly been a game-changer for me. It helped me organize my college schedule so much better, especially love how it sends reminders directly through WhatsApp. It feels so personal and makes staying on track so much easier. I tried the feature where simply send a flyer photo via WhatsApp, and it automatically schedules the event into my Google Calendar and it worked flawlessly! Itβs so convenient and intuitive. I found out about The Librarian from an Instagram post by @belajarcarabelajar. I decided to try it, and Iβm so glad I did! Thank you The Librarian teams!

@belajarcarabelajarΒ @kania_salsabilaΒ I'm so so glad that you've found out about us from Iwan - he is amazing at introducing AI tools and even for the post I did yesterday about our new Calendar AI Assistant I used his cal pic that he shared with me! And I also must say that the use case that you just described of just forwarding the pic with the event details to The Librarian and asking it to add the details to my calendar is something that I do all the time. Have you tried to take a pic of someone's business card and ask The Librarian to follow-up with the person via email? That's another one that I do all the time at networking events. Before I would do follow-ups once I was back at my desk but now I just do it on the spot thanks to our AI Assistant! π€π
@kania_salsabilaΒ @tiago_alves5Β Thank you for the kind words, Mr. Tiago! Iβm just happy to share such an amazing platform like thelibrarian with others! Wishing you and The Librarian team continued success!
TheLibrarian.io
@kania_salsabilaΒ @belajarcarabelajarΒ just realised that I can share pics here. this is the super super busy calendar from Iwan that he gave me permission to share on my post yesterday: π
why no pricing page, team @TheLibrarian.io ?

@taniabellΒ Hi Tania, we could not push it on time, sorry. I hope you don't mind that I share the mockup with you here and maybe you will have some feedback? π
@tiago_alves5Β right, cool.
it feels super intrusive tbh, I'd have to give your tool access to very person stuff. don't feel comfortable with that tbh
TheLibrarian.io
@taniabellΒ I totally understand Tania. I know users are fine to store everything with bigger companies like Apple and Google but not with us who are just a small startup. It's one of the challenges we will have to overcome. Having said that, you don't need to give access to anything you don't feel comfortable with and I do have many users that only connect their Google Calendar. Finally, sharing one slide that I use during my Onboarding Calls to explain the measures we have around Security and Privacy: π
@tiago_alves5Β cool. thanks for sharing this slide
Tool looks great, will definitely give it a go! Do you integrate with automation tools like n8n or Make? Congrats on the launch tho π
TheLibrarian.io
@hugo_pochetΒ Hey Hugo, thanks for the comment and the question. For now we are not integrating with any of those automation tools. We've decided to actually integrate directly using the APIs from the Google Apps, Notion, Slack and of course WhatsApp. I'm curious on your opinion on that? Do you think we've done the right choice here?
@tiago_alves5Β I think you might consider those options (integrate with automation tools) to create infinite workflow possibilities :) Yet, the current integrations seem super useful!
TheLibrarian.io
@hugo_pochetΒ agree with you 100% so we can scale the integrations. but on the other hand, if I work with those intermediary automation integration tools (I usually call it the Zapier-type), will we then have to rely on them if we want to change something, etc? Right now whenever we want to change anything we just need to change the code on our side and it's done. And btw, really appreciate you sharing your thoughts with me. π
@tiago_alves5Β Indeed, that might create some dependency on those platforms, but if you're scaling in the B2B market, you'll likely get that request often, as many teams are already used to working that way.
At the same time, opening up your tool for the community to build on top of it can be a great strategy. It not only increases engagement but also helps surface real-world use cases that you might eventually want to support natively within your product.
I appreciate that the shift from an automated to an agent-based approach has resulted in many applications leaving the "last mile" for humans instead of fully automating processes. In the video example, the Librarian found the document and drafted the email, but left the final step to a human. This approach seems to be the most effective. Great job! Best of luck with your launch!
TheLibrarian.io
@michael_vavilovΒ Wow, you did watch the video carefully. And yes, you are so right. I get asked all the time why can't The Librarian just send the email or calendar invite without that middle step? And I always reply two things: (i) we still cannot trust the AI as it does mistakes all the time so we need humans to supervise whatever it drafted or did (ii) if we did not have that middle step and then something went wrong and The Librarian sent for example the wrong file which was confidential, who is the user going to blame? They're going to blame us, the ones that build the tool. Once I explain this they do understand our rational. What do you think Michael? Does it make sense for me to explain it this way? π€π€
@tiago_alves5Β the first point works better imo
TheLibrarian.io
@michael_vavilovΒ ok, thank you for letting me know - I'll start using that one more often as it's 100% true, ie it's an amazing brain but it does sometimes do really stupid things so you always need the human to supervise it for now! π
