Building a Personal Assistant by customize system prompt in local. Current progress on my local voice assistant: 🧠 Brain: Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B 👂 Ears: Whisper AI 🗣️ Voice: Applio Custom Model

The result? 20 seconds of latency for a 3-sentence reply. Also, Whisper is currently struggling with my Indonesian accent—turning "Halo" into something creative. Still, running this 100% on a MacBook M1 Pro with 16GB RAM is a win. #Qwen25 #LocalAI #M1Pro #WhisperAI #Applio

I’m currently building my JARVIS from scratch. Meet Sophie. She runs locally on my system and can also get information online. She has access to my system and can control it. Stack: Claude AI (Anthropic): brain & conversation OpenAI Whisper: speech recognition OpenAI Nova TTS: voice output PyQt6: custom sci-fi UI I designed myself Python: everything else The interface is a custom-shaped device I designed cos I wanted that old 3d UI vibe on old windows laptops.
