PHASE 1 // LOCAL CORE & VECTOR INFRASTRUCTURE - AI DISCORD PERSONAL ASSISTANT

An open-source, local AI agent gateway built to operate completely inside consumer-grade hardware, prioritizing user privacy and data ownership without depending on third-party cloud APIs.

Originally designed as a Discord assistant, the system evolved into a modular local AI framework. The backend leverages Ollama for local LLM orchestration and direct model access, while PostgreSQL with pgvector serves as the semantic memory engine for long-term knowledge retrieval.

The engine utilizes asynchronous Python I/O to manage multiple concurrent conversations efficiently, integrating studio-grade audio mastering via Pedalboard DSP for voice interactions. This project demonstrates high-performance decentralized AI systems on personal local hardware.
