Overview
A calm 7.3-inch colour e-ink desk display that your AI agent keeps up to date. Twenty minutes before each meeting it switches to a prep card: who you're meeting, why, what happened last time and what's still open.
How it works
One Python script turns a few JSON and Markdown files into an 800×480 image, shown through InkyPi on a Pimoroni Inky Impression. An AI agent, or anything else, writes those files. Because a colour e-ink redraw takes 30–40 seconds, it updates like a newspaper on a fixed daily schedule rather than live.
