well, i am going to sleep for a few days. The last 24 hours have been tough.

First of all, i started getting harassed for making an ai project in my friend groups, which just broke my heart. I got actively attacked and called names for just wanting to make something cool. The point of this project is to make a completely local, light and fast ai assistant for your pc. I dont like the big corporations that do harm economically and environmentally. That is exactly why im making this.

With that out of the way, i have spent way longer than 6 hours and a half since the last devlog, bug a lot of that time was not coding, it was data stuff. I have started to build a knowledge base by asking local larger ai that run slower, to write information and documentation for different topics (linux, programming, science, health etc). Right now i have 10 categories with a total of 463 files. Then, i run an embedding model to turn those into searchable vectors that the ai can use during conversation. In the video bellow, i asked it how bash commands work in linux, and it found all the knowladge for that, and started telling me about it. Normally, the quality of the response is pretty short, vague and not very precise, since the model is so small, but now, it actually gives some usable output.

I have also worked a lot on making this as easy to install as possible. I have made a install script that covers all dependencies you need, registers the app on your system, and also lets you choose what knowledge categories you want to be included in the embedding process, which also happens locally during install. Yes that means all that knowledge if free and open source in the repository. If you want, you could even make your own categories, or improve existing ones!

To make this easier to use, i have also worked on the UI. Now theres a built in light and dark mode that you can use, along side whatever themes you ask the assistant to make for you. You can also now open all of the apps data folders. You can change whatever you want in there, and even customize your buddy! Would be cool to see some user made designs with like miku or something. That would be so cool :3

Sadly, in the process, i also broked the vision model stuff and i just realized that when i recorded the video for this devlog. I am too tired after doing data training for an entire day to debug and fix that right now. Also pretty demotivated after the stuff i had to endure lately for making projects based on ai.

I want to remind you that most of this project is made by me, and like my other project for stardance, Irongingot, i will make a graph with all of the files that were touched by ai, how many lines it wrote and what % is ai in the readme of the repository, using my opencode history on this project. I am a human being making stuff for human beings.

Anyway, pretty grim devlog i know. Hopefully, the next one will be happier and i can show some more cool stuff i have planned, like real time interaction with your desktop and select text and ask and so on.

Thank you to everyone who has been kind to me on here <3
