Show HN: 80 Lines of codes to transform Codex into a personalized assistant

[asskicker]

I want to test the idea that with just coding capability, the assistant should be able to build all other capabilities by itself, including Telegram messaging, scheduling, etc.

The leads to seedbot. In my testing, it is surprisingly robust and deeply customizable.

I am still trying to make this harness even simpler, instead of adding more functionality. I want to end up with a minimal self-extensible harness.

If you also find this challenge interesting, feel free to discuss!

How does this compare to nanoclaw, which is based on claude code?

[asskicker]

nanoclaw closer to an actual project that ships with many pre-built functionality (ignoring the legal risk of using claude code).

seedbot is trying to be as minimal as possible - getting rid of everything except coding, and let agent self evolve according to user instruction

Yeah conversational assistant and productivity assistant are quite different.

Regarding long-term context, the fallback behavior is writing all of them to a file and let codex use tool to retrieve them. And the harness give the agent full flexibility to manipulate the memory structure by itself
