Vida
An AI that learns how you work and starts doing it before you ask
Overview
Vida is a personal AI assistant built around the idea that it should get more useful the longer you use it, rather than starting from zero every session. It launched with a handful of concrete use cases, drafting message replies using context pulled from tools like Slack, Notion, and Figma, cleaning up messy prompts before you send them elsewhere, updating a resume from your recent work, tidying a cluttered workspace, and writing a daily wrap-up of what you finished. The team has said they plan to keep adding use cases publicly over time, with a stated goal of around 95 more.
It's aimed at knowledge workers who want a personal assistant that acts proactively instead of only responding to direct commands, and who care that Vida stores interaction history locally on-device rather than sending it to a company server for training. It launched on Product Hunt and took the top daily spot, but as a brand-new product it doesn't yet have a long usage record, and the paid pricing details beyond "free options are available" weren't clearly published at the time of writing.
Key Features
Reply Rescue: Drafts responses to messages by pulling context from Slack, Notion, and Figma.

Pros
Proactive, Not Just Reactive: Aims to anticipate tasks like replies and daily summaries instead of waiting for a prompt every time.
Local-First Privacy Stance: Interaction history stays on-device rather than being used to train a shared model.
Concrete, Everyday Use Cases: Reply drafting, resume updates, and workspace cleanup are specific and immediately useful, not vague "AI assistant" claims.
Cons
Brand New: Just launched, so there's no long-term track record on reliability or how well it actually "learns" your style over time.
Pricing Not Transparent: Specific paid tier prices weren't clearly published at launch, only that free options exist.
Integration-Dependent: Its usefulness depends heavily on how well it connects to the specific apps you already use.
What Makes It Unique
Learns Your Working Style Over Time: Unlike most AI assistants that treat every session as a blank slate, Vida is built to become more like you the more you use it, drafting in your voice instead of a generic one.
