A personal agent (PA) powered by an LLM agent via chat and voice interface

  • informs you every day what is happening (daily agenda)
  • executes tasks for you (setup a blog for me, order my favorite pizza, make me rich, make world peace etc.)

Even if raw capabilities of LLM would plateau, we can be sure our hardware and software will not - our top models will run 100x faster in a few years from now. Any digital task involving LLM calls will not be bottlenecked by API costs anymore.

Integrations

Instead of having separate apps installed or navigating to specialized websites to order products / food, find events, plan my next travel trip, etc. - we will use one unified chat interface (LLM agent) with integrations for services / data sources that enable your agent to do all these things for you (including general computer use).

Custom Apps

Every open-source app / program can be easily created / customized with natural language. Soon any binary can be modified. The value of most software will go to zero.

Customization through Memory

A good personal agent will use a memory layer to learn facts and preferences about its user and environment to not repeat mistakes twice and enable a deeply customized user experience.

Hermes agent is a right now a popular one known for that.

Files

Every file has a semantic embeddings making it discoverable with natural language queries (should be on OS level)

Every media file can be manipulated with natural language

  • decompose a song into its segments i.e. replace or remove the vocals, change the bass line, remove this annoying segment etc.
  • change the style of an image / video
  • create completely new custom videos (including spin-offs of your favorite TV shows)

Ethics

This unified interface has immense abuse potential and thus it is of importance to build a local privacy first version of this - fuck off privacy invading kraken services like OpenAI, Google and Anthropic. Open models and local AI must win.

Security

Projects like OpenClaw have shown the first glimpse of LLM powered personal assistant but the security concerns are real: all personal information your personal LLM agent has access to can be potentially exposed via prompt injection and other exploit techniques.

A good agent security layer would let me scope data access for every agent running + ask me via notifications to approve / deny data access in ongoing tasks.
