Your personal self-development assistant — a compact, interactive device that greets you when you arrive home and engages you in coding interviews, language-learning chats, or tech discussions, powered by open-source GPT models (gpt-oss) in a hybrid format — either through the API or locally over LAN.
- Light-Triggered Wake-Up: When you enter a room and turn on the light, the device “wakes up” and greets you.
- Holographic Character Display: Instead of a standard display, it features a small animal avatar (inspired by Rabbit R1) projected through a holographic-style prism screen for a unique, futuristic look.
- Web Dashboard: Connect it to your laptop and access the built-in web interface to view live code, configure settings, and update functionality.
- Hybrid AI Engine: Powered by gpt-oss, with support for both cloud API access and offline LAN-based operation.
- Interactive Skill Building: The assistant can improve your communication skills by starting spontaneous conversations — from the latest tech news to deep-dive discussions — leveraging the agentic capabilities of gpt-oss.
