Owl

Why we included this project

Owl is a working, full-stack reference for building an always-on personal AI assistant on low-power wearable hardware, so you can prototype the idea instead of just reading about it. It pairs custom capture devices built on ESP32, nRF52840, or Sony Spresense with a backend that runs inference locally through Ollama or falls back to commercial models, which lets you experiment with memory augmentation and proactive life assistance without sending your audio and location data to a cloud service. The repo also ships native iOS and web clients for talking to the assistant on the go, plus speaker verification so the system learns to recognize your voice, and VAD-based conversation endpointing to segment interactions. Developers and makers get the firmware, server, and client code in one place, a practical base to adapt for their own wearable AI experiments.
