Keep the whole thread.
Decisions, plans, files, voice notes, and running jokes stay findable weeks later, without rereading a thousand messages.
orlybot
Useful when you need it. Weird when you don’t.
orlybot remembers what was said, finds old links and media, handles reminders and recaps, and joins the joke when invited.
Useful for work. Fun to keep around.
Find the exact thing.
Ask for a link, a screenshot, the cabin booking, or last week’s decision and get it back in the chat.
Handle the small stuff.
Check service health, collect links, post digests, settle breakfast with a dice roll, and set reminders.
Make media useful again.
Screenshots, voice notes, and old photos become searchable context instead of messages buried in the thread.
Keep the next step moving.
Run launch check-ins, incident updates, playlist votes, review reminders, and daily summaries in one place.
Set a tone people enjoy.
Choose concise and direct, warm and helpful, or playfully judgmental. The bot can sound like it belongs.
