Who's building open source personal AI

Here's the thing. I want a personalized AI. Full stop.

There's no arguing back and forth.

Tech is here someone needs to put it together.

I'm so busy with other things, but I really want to see this thing come through and happy to work on it.

To me, its insane Apple didn't figure it out.

The goal: Build a truly personalized AI.

- Single threaded conversation with an index about everything.

- Bot should be accessible via WhatsApp, Insta, Email, or a phone call through an app (WebRTC connection).

(https://botpress.com/ is a really good starting point).

- Operator at the back that has login access to almost all tools I use, but critical actions must have HITL.

- Bot should be accessible via a call on the app or Apple Watch.

https://sesame.com/ type model and this is very doable with https://docs.pipecat.ai especially their new release that allows for long running function calls.

Speech detection (VAD) is still a problem, but I think its more of systems engineering problem than ML problem. Interruptions need to feel smooth.

But this is not a blocker. What exists is good enough.

- It can should be able to digest images, voice notes, etc.

- everything should fall into a single personal index (vector db).

One of the things could be, sharing 4 amazon links of some books I want to read and sending those links over WhatsApp to this agent.

It finds the PDFs for the books from https://libgen.is and indexes it.

I phone call the AI and I can have an intelligent conversation about the subject matter with my AI about the topic.

I do this a lot with xAI's Grok and its a surprisingly effective tool.

I give zero fucks about issues like piracy at the moment.

I want to later add more capable agents as tools to this AI.
