From a personal project to unexpected tech journey

🚀 From a personal project to an unexpected tech journey... and it’s just getting started!

A few weeks ago, I started building a simple "Parents Smart Assistant" —an automation bot to help busy parents (like myself) stay organized: reminders, calendar events, emails — all controlled via natural messages on Telegram.

I spent countless hours building and watching... tons of trial and error (mostly error 😅).

Every success felt like a small victory. Every mistake taught me something new.

Then came THE -MCP (Model Context Protocol).

Suddenly, I realized the game had changed.Instead of manually designing every tool and interaction, I could now connect to a network of intelligent tools ready to handle tasks dynamically.

It felt like building a bicycle for weeks...and then someone handing me a spaceship. 🚀😂

Today, my smart assistant project has evolved dramatically:

Telegram integration ✅
Gmail and Google Calendar automation ✅
Project restructuring with Docker, ngrok, and modular workflows ✅
Preparing full MCP integration (dynamic tools, memory, external searches) 🛠️

💬 I'd love to hear your thoughts:

Have you ever built something manually, only to find out a new tool could make it 10x easier? 😅

👑⭐Big thanks and huge credit to @Nate Herk for the inspiration, guidance, and the amazing effort he puts into this community and the whole automation field.Without his work and content, I wouldn’t have gotten this far so quickly.Appreciate everything you do!
