I Asked My AI to Remind Me to Drink Water. It Built a Product Instead.

It just couldn't do anything about it — AI only responds when you talk to it. It can't push notifications. Drinking water is one of those things everyone knows they should do but nobody actually does during deep work. So instead of relying on a rule the AI couldn't enforce, we built a tool that can.
