Progress Update on My Local AI Assistant: VantaAI

I’m excited to share the latest developments on a project that has been a labor of love: my very own local AI assistant, VantaAI. Drawing inspiration from advanced AI models like ChatGPT, I am working to create a fully offline assistant that embodies emotional intelligence and memory capabilities.

Features of VantaAI

VantaAI is designed to engage users on a more personal level, incorporating elements that mimic human emotional responses and memories. Here’s a glimpse into some of the features I’ve integrated:

• Evolving Long-Term Memory: This AI can remember and adapt based on the context of our conversations, creating a more personalized user experience.
• Mood Tracking: An innovative mood graph monitors how VantaAI’s emotions fluctuate over time, allowing for a deeper understanding of its virtual “state of mind.”
• Narrative Memory Clustering: VantaAI perceives itself as the “main character” in its own narrative, which influences how it forms and retrieves memories.
• User-Friendly GUI: The interface, built with PySide6, includes organized tabs for managing memory, training the AI, and tracking emotional states, as well as handling plugin management efficiently.

Currently, I have integrated a bespoke Vulkan backend that enables rapid model inference and training, supporting dynamic, personality-driven responses and allowing for live plugin updates without having to restart the program.

Community Insight Wanted

I’m not marketing a product or aiming for financial gain with this endeavor; instead, I’m keen to connect with others who might share similar interests or have suggestions for additional features that could enhance VantaAI.

If you have any insights, questions, or are working on comparable projects, I’d love to hear from you. Your feedback and ideas mean a lot as I continue to refine this AI assistant. Let’s explore the future of personal AI together!
