This project contains a customizable personal assistant program, mostly written in Python, designed with the Unix philosophy in mind. Its design is modular for replacements and upgrades using custom components, and it is meant to be fitted to an individual rather than a generic assistant for everybody.
Primary features of this are that it is designed to work offline without registration with any services, can be networked with other instances of the assistant, designed for each mobile, desktop, and server useage, and to be customized on device.
Please read the project Wiki for more information for how it works.
Following this setup guide will install the assistant, and create a system service that will start upon user login. To send messages to the assistant, use the udp-client.py with python3 udp-client.py "your message here"
. It can also be useful to make an alias for this command, such as alias msg=python3 /your/assistant/directory/udp-client.py
and put it in your .profile script
To start the setup, just follow the guide below
git clone https://gitlab.com/Hikari_Tadashi/assistant.git
cd assistant
This step varies depending on your package manager. For more information, go to poetrys website
Example: pacman -S python-poetry
poetry install
sed "s,{ASST_BASE_PLACEHOLDER},$(pwd)/assistant/g" assistant/assistant.service >> ${HOME}/.config/systemd/user/assistant.service
systemctl --user enable assistant
systemctl --user start assistant
Once all these steps are complete, the Assistant will run on user login
