How To Build a REAL Personal AI Chat Assistant

Описание: Current chatbots are intelligent but don't really have...vibe. I want an AI that evolves for you, with you: learning your projects, adapting tone to your grit, initiating conversations before you ask.

This video is an overview of how I'm engineering that "human-ish" intelligence that matures through three layers most systems ignore:

🌸 Try it in Petals: https://petals.chat
🧠 Use my open-source Memory system: https://github.com/iamarcel/assistant...

KEY CONCEPTS

🎨 Persona Architecture: Structured prompts that amplify the LLM’s latent "voice" (neutral GPT vs. mentor/coach/debate partner modes). With the memory this can evolve.

🔗 Graph-Based (~GraphRAG) Memory: Vector search doesn't get enough context. This with 💤 dreaming so your assistant reorganizes, cleans up and plans how they want to help you the next days.

🔔 Notifications: Two-way dialogue where AI schedules check-ins and starts a daily conversation

WHY AI MEMORY SHOULD BE OPEN

Centralized memory locks your life’s context inside corporate silos. This is my LIFE! I want to keep it with me and bring it to any AI that exists now or in the future. My open-source tools let you own this data—swap LLMs without losing decades of personal/professional nuance.

TRY IT OUT

You can build a persona for free with Petals' tools and try out these concepts for yourself! Soon I'll be adding the ability to self-host this memory system.
