The operating layer for your admin work. All your context in one place. One-click automations created around how you actually work.

Hi we just launched our beta and it's free for all users :)

We are building a proactive automations layer to take over all your admin!

Right now yave:
- is an ai notification center, it prioritises your notifications across all apps (telegram, email, slack, imessage). It not only shows you whats urgent but it also shows you all the needed follow ups!
- one click drafts with full context
- A flows section where yaven will proactively start creating automations for you depending on your work.

- on the video we showcase the automatic meeting briefs, which have been really useful for me as it pull from previous meeting notes and messages.

Two commands:
- ⌥A : ask anything on your screen, teach you something on a new app you're using, find information about a person, resolve a quiz, all with context of your work day, ask for a price comparison etc.
- ⌥D : draft a response anywhere in your computer. This has been so useful for cold outreach with full search of the person, responding to message that need information of my calendar/ work etc. from anywhere

there is a lot more to come and would love to have you all on this journey :)

you can become a beta tester or sign up to the waitlist here yaven.ai

thank you.

Which communication platform is better to create your product community? slack/ telegram/discord?

I am debating wether to set up our community (for feedback, bugs etc) space on slack discord or telegram?

would love the pros and cons of people that have set up their community on one of the above and things that have been successful.

Thank you!

It's been a week and we just hit 31 users!!

Last week we were at 0. Zero. Genuinely considering pivoting.

Today I opened PostHog and saw 31 new active users. In beta. Unprompted. I did not expect that.

Still not perfect though. Onboarding is a bit too long and figuring out the real aha! moment.

What's helping:

STORYTELLING. Shocker, i mean I feel like I'd heard this piece of feedback a million times but it genuinely converts!

Before, I was out here saying things like: AI assistant, inbox automation, context-aware drafts, local-first architecture. People's eyes glazed over lol.

The vision is much bigger than what the product is today but the idea is that I am trying to do something that was first useful for me and now sharing with others.

LinkedIn DMs have helped loads and specifically just sharing my candid story here on reddit.

No ads yet. Just screenshots, comment threads, and testing how far I can go organically.

What I am building:

It's an ai assistant that lives in the menu bar of my mac, kind of like if superhuman and raycast had a baby but with a prettier UI and access to all your apps not just email.

Prioritises all of my notifications (emails, slack, telegram etc.), as I'm actually horrible at follow-ups, often miss important bits and promptly responses. It preps me for meetings which has been a time savior and also makes me look very 'on it' with context of my prev notes.

I added this one click draft/rewrite anywhere in your computer feature which has proven the most fun + incredibly good at helping me move quickly through comments and documents.

A final sprinkle is with option+A you can ask anything about you're seeing on the screen, a contract, a meme, or even translating something quickly.

Would love to get more people into the beta and get more feedack.

this is Yaven :)

privacy-first ai assistant notch app

I’m building Yaven, an AI assistant for Mac that lives in your notch and makes your workday feel 10x easier.

Join early access here: yaven.ai

Yaven understands the context across your emails, messages, meetings, clients, tabs, and follow-ups, then helps you respond, prioritise, and stay on top of everything.

In any app, click ⌥D and Yaven drafts the reply with full context, in your tone. Use ⌥A to ask any question about anything in your screen, also with full context (eg. have a question about a proposal and what changed, or maybe what some people are discussing on slack? could simply be for a quick translation)

Before meetings, it pulls together who you’re speaking to, what you discussed last time, and what needs your attention, so you never have to reconstruct the context yourself.

Have all your notifications in one place prioritized by relevance with one click drafts.

Basically: less admin, fewer dropped balls, more actual work all wrapped in a beautiful notch UI

I built a mac notch app that is starting to automate my admin

![video](ocsj4uksg98h1)

Hi everyone I've been a freelancer for the past 2 years and I am quite lucky that I've had pretty steady work ad clients.

However, I feel like my admin was eating up my hours and its also the most annoying part of my day + as I has more deals it's just so distracting. Also I feel like since I've started using ai more and more i actually get really distracted using several tools at the same time trying to remember what I was doing last, port context etc.

So I started automating bits out here and there as i am a software engineer but tbh it was still taking me a long time.

Finally a few months ago I started building something for myself to help stay on top of my inbound, putting all of my notifications in one place with priority. It also reminds me of messages/ emails i need to follow-up to and now with one click it responds to them!
Not only that but also sorts through all the freelancer client/ freelancer chats and actually prioritises messages of people asking for my exact role which has landed me 2 contracts!

the cherry on top recently has been the fast drafting.
So first i started drafting in place with context from all my clients and work! it remembers prev calls what was discussed and also context in between tools and apps.
Now by clicking ⌥D anywhere in your computer it can draft responses on X linkedin etc! all the quick responses that don't sound like ai are actually helping me grow my socials and stay on top of my inbound in one click!

[yaven.us](http://yaven.us)

I have decided to let other people try per request of friends but I would love to know what people think :)
\- would you find this useful? if so what? if not why?
\- do you like the design?
\- what are the pieces of admin that are actually annoying for you and what are you doing instead to automate if anything?

Looking for feedback on my latest website

Hi everyone :)

I just launched my latest website for yaven. Would appreciate some support/ feedback on it https://www.yaven.us/

I had a lot of fun with gsap and the initial shader animation.

Also feel free to share your own sites for feedback as well!

Feedback/ support on my latest product launch

Hi everyone! First time founder here building Yaven.

I built a Mac assistant: press ⌥D in any app and it drafts the reply in your voice

Solo operators spend half the week on admin nobody pays for. My co-founder and I got tired of it, so we built Yaven.

What it does today: ⌥D anywhere (LinkedIn, Gmail, anywhere) drafts a reply in your tone from a two-word instruction like "decline, warm." ⌥A answers questions about whatever's on screen, contracts included. Your inbox gets triaged into needs-you / drafted / parked. Nothing sends without your approval.

What it doesn't do yet: Windows, mobile, and the deeper CRM automation we're building toward. It's a month old and it shows in places.

We onboard a small beta group each week, personally. Link in comments per sub rules. Happy to answer anything, including the awkward questions.

Increasing my productivity

The last year, my biggest productivity blocker has not been a lack of focus, it's been the sheer volume of endless admin and reviews, follow-ups, coordinating across platforms, and updating CRMs. As a solo operator, it felt like I was spending more time managing my workflow than actually doing the impactful work.

I tried all the usual hacks, but the real game-changer has been to create some context tools myself, I have a command that drafts a reply for me in any app with full context and my tone. I have a command to ask anything on a document or site wherever I am and I can use different models. It prioritises my inbox through all of my apps so I only get the most important messages. It pulls together emails, docs, and calendar, drafts docs, and even updates my Notion or CRM in the background.

I am considering giving access to people if there is enough interest, really curious about peoples thoughts yaven.us

I spend 2 hours a day not doing actual work, but jumping between tools

I tracked my screen time last week and realized something depressing. I spent almost 2 hours a day not doing actual work, but jumping between tools trying to reconstruct context. Like, a client emails about an invoice. So I check Stripe. Then I check my project tracker to see what the invoice was for. Then I check my email to see if I already followed up. Then I check my notes to remember what we agreed on.

The actual task takes 3 minutes. The scavenger hunt to figure out what's going on takes 15.

I started writing down every time I had to open more than 2 tools just to understand the state of something; a payment, a project, a client relationship. It's horrifying how often it happens.

Anyone else feels this or am i just disorganised, for me it's the work around the work? How do you deal with this?

free ai audit + help creating an automation :)

I’m testing something for founders, freelancers and operators who use AI at work.

The thing I keep seeing:

AI helps people create more outputs, but it also creates more mess afterwards.

More drafts to review.
More follow-ups to send.
More context to remember.
More tabs, notes, emails, docs and tools to connect.
More “wait, what was I supposed to do next?” moments.

So I’m doing a few free AI workflow audits this week.

I’ll listen to you and about your week and map:

  • what can be automated
  • where context is getting lost
  • what an AI assistant should prepare before you ask
  • what the ideal workflow should look like

Useful if you use AI for client work, meetings, research, sales, content, proposals or internal ops.

spending more time reviewing ai output

I’m curious if anyone else has this problem:

AI helps me produce more, but now I spend more time reviewing, copying, pasting, rewriting, routing, remembering context, and figuring out what the next step is.

It feels like ChatGPT creates outputs, but doesn’t manage the work after the output exists.

Does anyone else feel this, or is this just a me problem?

What admin do you trust AI to do automatically, and what would always need your approval?

For people using AI at work: where do you draw the line?

Do you let AI:

  • draft client emails
  • send client emails
  • suggest meeting times
  • create calendar holds
  • update CRM/tasks
  • chase unpaid invoices
  • summarize threads
  • prepare reports
  • remind you about stale follow-ups

What would you let it do automatically, what would need review, and what would be a hard no? Trying to figure out the right balance atm.

Should I hire a virtual assistant/ part-time ops person?

Keep almost pulling the trigger on a virtual assistant / part-time ops person and then bailing. The maths doesn't quite work, £30k+/year for a junior feels like a lot when half the work is "remind me to chase this invoice" or "add this person to the CRM."

But I also keep losing hours to exactly that work, so something has to give.

Anyone been through this loop? What did you actually end up doing, hire, automate, outsource, just give up? And if you hired, did it work out, or did you let them go?
