Own your personal agent, folks. Just built my own little personal agent with @pidotdev's Pi Durable. I wanted to see how quickly I could build an OpenAI dots clone with open-source tools. I am amazed at how quickly I got this off the ground. It's proactive. It keeps working when you're not watching. It remembers you, runs jobs on a schedule, waits for your approval, and uses its own computer. Pi Durable makes that possible. Every step is checkpointed. I can kill the process mid-task, and My Pi picks up right where it left off. Memory lives in durable documents. What My Pi learns about me in one Space survives a crash and carries over to every other Space. Approvals are durable too. It also has its own computer. Each Space gets a full Linux desktop that My Pi controls with screenshots, mouse, and keyboard. The model runs through OpenRouter, so I can swap models without changing anything else. That's all configurable however you like it. If you've been wanting your own personal agent, now is a great time to build one. I am building this as an experimental ground where I can test new ideas and experiment deeply with proactive personal agents. But I plan to open-source it after testing it a bit and adding more interesting primitives. The goal is to make it customizable and easy to build on, so others can experiment with their own personal agent functionalities. Media
