Proxenos

Proxenos

Proxenos is a free, open-source local-first AI agent designed to efficiently manage healthcare records while maintaining the privacy of sensitive data on a user’s computer. This innovative solution keeps track of referrals, bills, and communications, enabling users to navigate the complexities of the healthcare system more effectively.

In moments of health challenges, the surrounding processes can often be overwhelming—referrals may go unanswered, portals can be confusing, and billing discrepancies arise. Proxenos alleviates this burden by analyzing existing records from various sources (such as emails, chats, calendars, and notes) and maintaining an organized account of ongoing healthcare statuses. The application generates messages, call scripts, and one-page briefs for upcoming appointments in your personal voice, allowing for clear communication while keeping control in your hands.

Core Functionality

Proxenos serves as a comprehensive digital assistant for managing healthcare-related tasks, offering the following functionalities:

• Data Vault: Collects and securely stores personal messages, emails, calendar events, notes, and documents into a private vault on the computer.
• Health Insights: Facilitates an overview of healthcare statuses by providing timelines of referrals, tasks, and suggestions for upcoming interactions with healthcare professionals.
• Activity Tracking: Monitors tasks that need attention based on personal conversations and user input, integrating them with daily schedules.
• Custom Drafting: Crafts responses and plans in the user's own writing style, allowing seamless communication without automatic sends, which maintains user discretion.
• Tailored Resources: Supplies a feed populated with personalized content such as news articles and relevant research based on individual interests.
• Memory Retrieval: Features a searchable memory that makes past messages and notes easily accessible to improve the efficiency of current interactions.

Privacy and Security

Proxenos is built on a foundation of privacy-first principles. Code and personal data are distinctly separated, ensuring that all user information remains local. Communication with external servers occurs only when expressly permitted by the user, such as during phone calls managed through a secure Twilio account. The repository stores code exclusively, whereas personal records are kept in a private vault, which maintains its own change history.

Continuous contributions are welcome to enhance the functionality of this project, especially insights from individuals with medical training to foster an even more effective preventive tool.

Initial Setup and Usage

While the application requires some technical proficiency (operates primarily on macOS and employs terminal commands), it is backed by comprehensive documentation to aid users throughout the installation and setup processes. Proxenos isn’t a finished commercial product yet but is actively used and improved by those familiar with coding.

Example Commands

To gather personal data:

proxenos ingest whatsapp       # Import WhatsApp messages
proxenos import ~/Downloads/takeout-*.zip   # Import Google Takeout data

To synchronize records:

proxenos sync                  # Refresh all imported data

To manage and maintain the self-model:

proxenos master                # Update the self-model based on notes
