MARVIN is your personal AI assistant that can help you connect to the apps you need and handle your day.
MARVIN (Manages Appointments, Reads Various Important Notifications) is a personal AI chief of staff template that extends Claude Code with session continuity, goal tracking, and workspace integrations. It maintains conversation history across sessions, monitors progress toward objectives, and connects to productivity tools like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Linear, Notion, and Atlassian. Developers customize MARVIN by adding commands, agents, and skills through a structured directory system that separates personal data from the template codebase.
