HobReview: a ChatGPT that never leaves your laptop

DeepCell keeps your spreadsheet, your write-up, and your slides in one file, so the numbers can't drift apart. Start from last quarter's work and the latest data, and you get back a single .deepcell with a spreadsheet, a report, a deck, and a cheat sheet explaining how you got there. Change one assumption and it flows through everything. In the demo, nudging Q4 growth from 15% to 20% moves the forecast from $4.60M to $4.80M in the sheet, the report, and the slide at once. The cheat sheet is the clever part. When someone asks why the slide says 500 orders and the morning report said 480, it points to the 20-unit order that landed at 11:40 and names the file it came from. You build kits through the AI agent you already use, with DeepCell's CLI and MCP connector doing the work. It's free for individuals with no account needed to start. Sign up if you want to keep files past 30 days. Teams is still on a waitlist.

Strawberry is a desktop browser for Mac and Windows with AI "companions" that work inside your open tabs. Ask Sales Sally for prospects from LinkedIn and she builds the lead list in a Google Sheet, with company names and a fit rating. Talent Theo scores candidates against a role. Executive Ellis writes a morning brief and tracks follow-ups. You can also build your own companion around a process your team repeats every week. Because it's a real browser, the companions can work on pages behind your logins, like LinkedIn, HubSpot, and Gmail. Strawberry says passwords, cookies, and history stay on your machine, and you set permissions per app and per action. It also transcribes Zoom, Teams, and Meet calls without a bot joining. Browsing is free. Companion work costs credits: 500 a month free, then $20 for 6,000, up to $250 for 75,000.

Savor is a free phone app for the things too small or too vague for a to-do list: call the dentist, book that trip, deal with the parking fine. Say it, type it, or snap a photo of the letter or flyer, and Savor turns it into a card. Cards sit in three lanes, Now, Soon, and Later, and come back with a reminder when their date gets close. The AI part is Take Action, still in beta. Open a card and it helps you work out the next step: compare options, build a list, look up public information, or draft the message you've been putting off. You can also hand a card to someone else who uses Savor; once they accept, it's theirs, reminders included. Photos of bills and letters are read automatically, and Siri can add cards hands-free. It's free on iPhone and Android while the company has paid plans on hold.

Mycel is for people who deliver the same kind of client work every month, like a month-end close, a proposal or a listing audit. Upload one past example and it drafts the next one for each client. Nothing goes to a client until you approve it. You also see which invoices need chasing, plus a chart of how much of each draft you still end up rewriting, which is a refreshingly honest number for a tool to show you. Setting it up takes about an afternoon: describe the service, upload one file and give it this week's work. The hosted Starter plan is $299 a month after a seven-day free trial. If you'd rather host it yourself, it's free and open source under Apache-2.0, as long as you bring your own model key. It's not worth it for one-off projects, or if $299 is more than a client pays you each month.
