I’ll keep it short as the readme goes more in depth. GitHub - pbanj/Bonder: A smart ass AI assistant for Home Assistant · GitHub
I made a working bender AI that can control your home and search the web, and has a “memory”. All while staying private if you want. it will auto swap if the internet goes down so you never lose control.
You can run it in a few different setups.
-
Hybrid. (online with offline failsafe)
- The default setup
- Uses online API’s.
-
Offline
- Uses a Locally running AI model
- Can still do the web search
- Doesn’t need the failsafe
-
Always Online
- No failsafe
- like forcing a crap DRM.
The Failsafe is named “flexo”.
- No memory
- Home Assistant is set to handle commands first.
- No web search obv.
- A very simple prompt that should run pretty will on most things.
Bonus pics from when i was working the kinks out.
It was a little “too much” Bender, for when people are over but was hilarious.
