Build your own exobrain
summary
A personal automation framework called exobrain runs on a laptop or cloud, written in Perl, using ZeroMQ messaging and Ubic process management, exposing agent plugins for Twitter, IMAP, Beeminder, Pushover and HabitRPG; installation via cpanm exobrain (many dependencies). It treats events as typed measurements or intent actions, sends platform‑agnostic responses, and already powers working features: Twitter to‑dos, XP for git commits, Pebble notifications, Beeminder graphs and inbox sampling (historly 12,200 → <1,200).
