Act of Kindness

One small, specific act of kindness, generated fresh every morning and dropped in your inbox. No app, no streaks, no guilt — just one thing you could do today that takes less than ten minutes and costs nothing.

The Backstory

This one isn’t new. It started life as a Waza project back when I was CTO at Endgame — one of those internal ideas that gets built, gets loved for a bit, and then quietly goes dormant when everyone moves on to the next thing.

Simon, another Endgame alum now at Telos wrangling agents, brought it up out of nowhere and said it’d be cool to bring it back and let it make the world a little kinder. He was right. So I rebuilt it.

What It Does

• Sign up and get one small act of kindness by email every day, generated by an LLM that’s told to avoid repeating itself.
• “I did it” links in the email let you mark a kindness done — no account required, just an unguessable token.
• A public history page shows past kindnesses and how people reacted to them.
• A public, unauthenticated MCP server so any Claude (or other MCP client) can pull today’s kindness into a conversation and react to it.

Try It

Sign up: aok.civet-labs.com

Use the MCP server — handy if you want today’s kindness folded into a daily round-up or agent workflow:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "act-of-kindness": {
      "url": "https://aok-mcp.civet-labs.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

It exposes kindness://today as a resource, a get_todays_kindness tool, and a react_to_kindness tool if you want to leave an emoji reaction.

Still Being Worked On

This is actively developed, not a fire-and-forget experiment. If you’ve got ideas for it, find me and send them over — andrew@civet-labs.com.

Originally a Waza project at Endgame. Revived, rebuilt, and now running as part of the Civet Labs chaos.
