minimi 2.0
Meet minimi 2.0 β€” the AI cat that's here to scratch up your unfinished business. Built by shram and fresh off its Product Hunt debut, this digital feline promises to "close your open loops," turning your scattered to-dos, half-baked ideas, and lingering commitments into a playful, gamified productivity loop. Think Tamagotchi meets Getting Things Done: a companion that nudges, tracks, and celebrates you into shipping. It's the latest signal that AI companions are moving beyond chat and into the messy, motivating work of actually getting things done β€” and founders should be watching this space closely.

There's a reason "open loops" is such an evocative phrase.

Instead of waiting for you to ask, this AI cat is designed to keep your loose ends front and center, turning productivity into a relationship rather than a chore. The "2.0" in the title also signals iteration: this isn't a first swing, it's a product that's already been shaped by user feedback, and that kind of founder persistence is exactly what Startup Signal loves to see. Now, the skeptic in me wants more details β€” how does the AI actually track and categorize your loops? Does it integrate with your calendar, your inbox, your notes? The Product Hunt listing (https://www.producthunt.com/products/shram) is light on specifics, but the positioning alone is enough to get founders thinking. We're watching AI move from reactive to active, and minimi 2.0 is
