A network of sensors, artifical intelligence, and persuasive outputs collude to take advantage of a huge array of personal benefits that need dilligence, awareness, and persistence to engage in. Things a computer can be very good at. This assistant is subtly, persistently working toward an array of general life-improvement goals.

Define life goals in specific results or in person value statements.

Example: Become a singer in a rock-n-roll band.

Wake up, check the day's calendar. RML (Run My Life) has signed you up for a singing lesson that night, and added a calendar entry for it.

Assume the system knows when you are about to make a purchase. Selects optimal payment method such as a creditcard with reward travel points, working towards a higher goal of getting an airline ticket to an audition in Los Angeles.

=== Inspiration

• “Freedom” by Daniel Suarez
• “The Matrix” - when Morpheus is leading Neo through the office cubes away from the agents.

=== Existing implementation

A Freenode IRC bot called 'zrobo' is connected to inputs via redis values, and has a collection of subroutines in the for of javascript functions stored in http://gist.github.com/donpdonp tagged with 'neuronbot'.

4sq/whereis

• Foursquare webhook informs zrobo of checkin
• If an irc message is directed at me, zrobo responds with 'donpdonp is at …'
• If venue is a food establishment, zrobo says donpdonp is eating at…
• Response happens for 1 hour after checkin.
