marvin VS taskwarrior

Hey HN! We just released Marvin 2.0.

Marvin is an AI toolkit for developers who want to use LLMs with traditional software. We still see significant challenges integrating LLMs because of how difficult it is to get them to reliably accept and return structured data. Marvin consists of independent, functional tools that address this problem in a variety of ways.

Marvin has always been focused on using LLMs to work with native Python datatypes and Pydantic models. In 2.0 we've expanded this significantly with dedicated APIs for the most common use cases we've seen over the last year: classification, entity extraction, transforming data to types, and generating synthetic data. Marvin 2.0 is also fully multi-modal and supports images as inputs for classification, extraction, and transformation tasks (as well as simple image and speech generation). We've also introduces a Pythonic interface to OpenAI's assistants API, which now powers all of Marvin's interactive components.

We've tried to make an LLM framework that "sparks joy" and captures that same feeling you had the first time you saw an LLM in action. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Seems a lot like https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin?

The prompting you do seems an awfully like:

You can try the decorator ai_fn in marvin https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin

Marvin: a batteries-included library for building AI-powered software. Marvin's job is to integrate AI directly into your codebase by making it look and feel like any other function (https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin)

Sure! I was inspired by this Python library: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin

I see Langchain has support for Azure chat models, and Marvin is built on Langchain so it may not be so difficult! Tracking issue here: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin/issues/189

We have a related issue open (https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin/issues/64) but haven't designed anything yet.

A task manager tool that supports syncing with Taskwarrior.

Not much to say, it's a {https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior}(command line utility for task management) with a lot of features. I like it because I tend to spend more time on desktop than mobile, although there are a {https://github.com/bgregos/foreground}(couple) of {https://f-droid.org/es/packages/kvj.taskw/}(apps) for Android users. It allows synchronization between devices by setting up your own {https://taskwarrior.org/docs/taskserver/setup/}(taskserver) or using {https://inthe.am/}(third party tools).

I set out on this course with taskchampion-lib about three years ago. It quickly became clear that some tooling would help.

taskwarrior: Feature-rich command-line task manager.

Web-based tools and gui apps are just too high friction for my work flow, so I prefer simple command line tools. https://taskwarrior.org/ is my current favorite.

I’ll volunteer Taskwarrior (https://taskwarrior.org), since I don’t see it from anyone else just yet. It’s a CLI oriented task management system which (once you learn it) can be very quick and easy to use. It’s not perfect but they’ve done a better job that I would have for sure, and have really thought about reducing friction.

Cool, I set it in my Google Calendar and put it in my Taskwarrior that I started using.
