Project Parliament is a FastAPI + vanilla JS web app that runs a structured 7-step deliberation workflow to help developers find open-source project ideas matching their skills and goals. Multiple AI models (via OpenRouter: GPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Qwen) independently propose ideas, then specialized agents critique market viability, assess builder fit, evaluate open-source sustainability, and synthesize a final recommendation with a backup. A 'Performance Review' step scores each model's contribution. Input your background and constraints; get back a grounded project proposal with actionable first steps.

Toki 2.0 takes the gap between intention and execution seriously. You type a goal — 'learn piano', 'ship the MVP', 'train for a half marathon' — and Toki converts it into a structured, time-blocked schedule on your actual calendar. The 2.0 update focuses specifically on handling vague inputs: goals without deadlines, interests without clear milestones, and ambitions without a plan. The engine behind it does two things: it breaks goals into concrete sub-tasks with realistic time estimates, and it finds open slots in your existing calendar to place them. It accounts for your current commitments, working hours preferences, and energy patterns based on historical scheduling behavior. The output is a calendar, not a to-do list — each item has a start time and a duration. This is an indie launch from a small team shipping on Product Hunt today. The concept is deceptively simple but the execution gap — converting 'I want to do X' into an actual calendar event with a specific time — is where most people's goals go to die. Toki makes that conversion automatic.
Reviewer scorecard
“The seven-step structure is the product here, not the code. Having a dedicated 'Market Skeptic' and 'Builder Fit Judge' agent in the pipeline catches the two most common ways indie projects fail before you start. The model performance scoring is a clever meta-feature that actually helps you pick the right model for each step going forward.”
“The calendar integration is what separates this from every other goal-setting app. Putting it on the calendar is the commitment. If this handles Google Calendar and Outlook reliably, it solves a real friction point. The 2.0 focus on vague inputs is the right problem to solve — structured goal input was always fake precision.”
“Parliament suffers from the fundamental problem of all AI ideation tools: the models converge on plausible-sounding but generic ideas that have been tried a hundred times. 'A CLI for X' or 'a SaaS wrapper around Y' will dominate every output regardless of your unique background. Self-knowledge and market research beat any multi-model pipeline for finding good ideas.”
“Every AI scheduling tool faces the same cold-start problem: the AI doesn't know what your goals actually require, so it guesses. 'Learn piano' could be 15 minutes or 2 hours a day depending on your ambition level. Until AI scheduling has genuine context about your life and real feedback loops, these plans are mostly aspirational fiction dressed as a calendar.”
“The 'parliament' pattern — expand, consolidate, debate, converge — is a generalizable workflow architecture, not just for project ideas. Watch for this deliberation structure to appear in legal research, medical diagnosis, and policy analysis tools. This indie project is a clear proof-of-concept for how multi-model systems should be structured.”
“AI-mediated time allocation is underrated as a category. Most knowledge workers have no systematic way to translate priorities into time. Tools that automate the scheduling layer — freeing humans to focus on defining what matters — are going to become standard productivity infrastructure within three years.”
“As someone who gets paralyzed by too many project ideas, having an opinionated pipeline force a winner is genuinely useful. The 'primary + backup recommendation with actionable steps' output format is well-designed for actually starting something. Setup requires your own API keys which is a friction point, but the local-first approach means your ideas stay private.”
“As someone who juggles creative projects alongside client work, the idea-to-calendar conversion solves a real problem. The question is whether it handles irregular schedules and creative flow states intelligently. If it just force-fits rigid blocks, it'll feel clinical. But the impulse is exactly right — intentions without time don't become reality.”
