If you book a hotel for $200, you should pay $200. Today, we shut down hotel junk fees and surprise credit card holds. The price you see is the price you pay.



One of my holiday goals was to get my sh*t together and build myself a proper AI assistant. I spend my day bouncing between multiple Claude Code / Codex sessions and sometimes too many meetings. I've got three kids, two businesses, one wife, and virtually zero time to build systems that make my life better. The data is all there, I just need to bring it together and make sense of it. This week, I stumbled upon this awesome agent workflow writeup by @steipete where he mentions what he's building at clawdis.ai , and I was intrigued. This is a very appealing AI assistant. Seems like exactly what I'm looking for. So I asked Claude Code to set up Clawdis on a headless Mac Mini on my LAN. After I pointed it to some credentials, my Clawdis ("Crawdad" 🦞) quite literally did the rest, setting itself up, all via WhatsApp. I gave it access to my 5 email accounts, calendars, iMessages (via BlueBubbles server), and Granola transcripts. This stuff rarely works the first time. It was awesome. Then, earlier today, we had a real Jarvis moment. I was in my car waiting on my wife to emerge from the store, so I sent Crawdad a voice message. I hadn't configured OpenAI API keys for transcribing my voice, so I asked it to try to install and use whisper.cpp (via WhatsApp), and it *just worked*, and will use this method going forward. Excited to build out more tooling here. I think this is a super important project to watch - seems like it could be the foundation of a unicorn tbh. Thanks for all of your work here Peter - feels like a weight has been lifted for real! 2026 is gonna be lit 🔥
