I've been building a personal AI assistant that runs on my own system, based around an open framework and talking to cloud models. It stays on and the memory lives with it, so I talk to it from just about anywhere, and what it learns in one session carries into the next, compounding knowledge and connections over time.
I write about all of it on my blog. These two posts are where I'd start, and there are a few more guides below.

01
