Review: Building a Personal Assistant with GPT-4o
I built a simple personal assistant using the GPT-4o API last night.
Features: schedule management, memo summarization, Google Calendar integration. I was surprised by how decent the results turned out. The voice interface in particular felt so natural that it was almost like talking to a real person.
I'm still a bit concerned about token costs, but it seems usable for personal purposes. I'll share the code on GitHub.

Oh awesome lol, should I try making one too?
The token cost is the issue... how much would it be if I use it all day long?
The voice interface is really nice, but aside from a slight delay, I'm satisfied.
Could you please share the GitHub link? I'd like to try it out myself.
This is right lol I can feel the response speed of GPT-4o voice
Well, isn't Google Calendar integration a bit unstable? I tried it before and it kept disconnecting.
I was making a personal assistant but gave up after seeing the cost. Would it be okay if I set a usage limit?
It would probably be more convenient if it integrates with iPhone Shortcuts. Have you tried it?
Disagree. It's still not ready to replace a real assistant, and it seems more appropriate to use it for simple repetitive tasks.
I made something similar, and it's definitely convenient for schedule management. But in the long run, the API costs add up, which is a concern.
