Sentient

Your personal assistant, running on your own computer. It runs long tasks for you, remembers what matters, notices things before you ask, and talks with you by voice. Any model, local or cloud. No account, no servers, no setup files.

[!NOTE] Sentient v3 is in alpha. It runs from source, its tests run on Windows and Linux on every change, and a Windows installer builds from this repository. Here is exactly what has been tested.

Why Sentient

What it does

  Long-running tasks
  One-off, recurring, triggered by your apps, or split across parallel helpers. Every run keeps a live log and a
  clear report, and failed runs can be retried from where they stopped.

  Watchers that cost nothing
  "Tell me when this changes" becomes a tiny script that checks on a schedule and only wakes the AI when
  something happens.

  About you
  How Sentient understands you, with the reasons behind each thing it noticed. Confirm it, correct it, or tell it
  it's wrong.

  It tidies up overnight
  Each night it merges duplicate memories, settles contradictions (an old "lives in Chennai" gives way to
  "lives in Bengaluru") and writes a short journal of what changed.
</td>

  Phones and smart glasses
  Pair a device with a six-digit code. Sentient can show text, speak, check where you are, or take a photo and
  tell you what it sees. The protocol is open, with reference glasses firmware.

  Voice, hands-free
  Say "Hey Sentient", talk naturally and interrupt whenever you like. Speech recognition runs on your computer.

  Learns new skills, with your OK
  After real work Sentient writes reusable skills, and proposes fixes when one goes wrong. Nothing changes until
  you approve the diff.
