App Description
This project started 6 months ago when I tried to teach my 83-year old widowed grandma to use chatGPT on her laptop.
When I showed her AI, she was blown away; so I created her an OpenAI account and made a desktop shortcut on her Home Screen. Yet time and time again she’d call me confused or annoyed.
So I tinkered around and set up a hotline she could call with a conversational AI agent.
She loved it, and then she started requesting features (lol).
She wanted it to text her, make notes, remember past conversations, search Google – the works.
Somewhere along the way, I realized that maybe more people than my grandma would like something like this.
I started calling Mandrake on drives and creating business plans & researching technical projects with him. It was almost magical.
Shared him with some friends, and about half of them became power users overnight.
So yeah, feeling very good about Mandrake at this point and would love to hear everyone’s feedback here!
