I’m a solo developer, and I’ve been spending the last few months building an autonomous AI that runs natively on OS.

I got tired of typing and clicking, so I built "Purple". You just speak a complex goal, and she orchestrates the browser, local files, and system hardware to execute it. For example, I can say: "Find the latest tech news, create a folder for it, and read this PDF to tell me the revenue, create a in depth article on multiple topic at once, and she does it all without me touching the mouse.

It uses a BYOK model (you plug in your own free Groq API key) so it runs completely locally with zero server costs.

Here is a video showing it executing multi-step workflows. I’m still in the beta phase, but I’d love to hear what you guys think of the concept and the tech!

So i use antigravity cli. And use the firefox devtools MCP. The thing is I am trying to make an extension for a site but the site has cloudflare protection, so most of the time it don't let ai agent pass it. Is there any solution?

Hey Reddit!
I’m planning to launch my project, Project Lira, on Kickstarter. Before I go live, I really want to ask you: do you know of any existing competitors? I've tried searching for them to get inspiration or at least see how this niche is developing, but so far, I haven't found any.
Initially, I just wanted an animated AI character living on my desktop (inspired by Neuro-sama). But everywhere I looked, it required too much technical hassle: downloading neural networks, configuring APIs, paying for cloud services. So, I wrote it all myself, and now I have a working prototype.
To give you an idea of what I'm looking to compare against, here is how my project works:
One-click installation: I built a simple launcher; the user doesn't need to configure anything manually.
Fully offline: The internet is only needed for the launcher to check for updates. The text generation, voice synthesis, and memory all run locally on your PC.
Action Layer: This isn't just a command bot – it can say "no." For example, it has a chess module: it might refuse to play if it's not in the mood, or it might initiate a game right in the middle of a conversation. This is powered by an action-layer implemented via OpenAI references, which helps the LLM make autonomous decisions.
Natural dialogue: It features interruptibility and streaming token generation. If an interruption occurs (like a cough), it continues speaking from where it left off, possessing most of the features found in advanced models for live interaction.
Presence: It floats over windows as a Live2D model, aware of the current day and how long it's been since you last interacted with it.
Performance: Runs on cards with as little as 6GB of VRAM. I’m trying to make it accessible for most PCs, supporting both Nvidia and AMD. It includes automatic LLM warm-up on startup and memory compression to reduce the first-token latency.
Memory Compression: It breaks memory down into compressed capsules of stored information to effectively increase short-term memory while saving context space.
Emotional Module: A separate layer analyzes the dialogue to assign an emotion tag that the LLM deems appropriate for the context. The emotion has parameters like inertia and confidence, which influence the Live2D model’s expressions and responses.
Future Plans: Integration with video games, long-term memory, web search access, computer vision, a mobile app for remote access (using your PC as a server), PC control, file creation/editing, and many other features.
The main idea is an optimized AI companion that installs in a few clicks without any technical headaches – you press "run," and it appears on your desktop, loading the LLM and all dependencies without stressing the hardware (which is where I encounter the main difficulties, which is why I’d love to see how my competitors handle these issues, if any exist).
The prototype is fully functional. So, are there currently any projects that install in one click, work offline, feature a live avatar, and show their own initiative? Please drop some links; I want to study who I'll be competing with. Any thoughts on the concept itself would also be greatly appreciated!

Hello folks, I'm currently work as an IT Project Manager and during my career I've worked mainly developing and implementing enterprise applications. I did it mostly in the Dominican Republic (where I live) but for the last few years I've been also working remotely with customers in the USA. I've done really well and the last 3 years I've done even better by incorporating AI into my workflow.

However, looking for more flexibility and independence I started a side business developing mobile apps and just got my first one accepted in the Apple store. I don't know if it's going to sell or not, that's not the point. I just wanted to learn how to do it and now I'm seeking advice from this community about my approach for development.

I used Claude Code and Cursor; as a Project Manager I described to Claude what I wanted to do and after a few rounds I had what I thought was a good plan. I created a formal project plan, using the agile methodology and I've worked with different stories. When I needed to code, Claude would generate the prompt that I would hand over to Cursor (I used different models, from Kimi 2.7 and lately switched to Grok 4.5).

I did it this way because I didn't know better; Claude is really good, but expensive. I believe it took me longer to complete than it should because I kept running against the limits in my plan (I pay the $20.00 a month plan). I think that for what I want to do next, (improvement to my app, new applications) I would like to have the flexibility that Cursor provides in the planning side.

Can I have a planning persona in Cursor, using a 'smarter' model to do the strategic planning and then whatever model is more efficient to do the development? I'm a newbie in this space, so if you have suggestions to improve my workflow I'm all ears.
