Local personal AI assistant. Would be very interested if it can be ported to FreeBSD, and save the VPS monthly cost.

Is it a local AI-service that handles your private communication? What if they hide personal data inside encrypted transmissions to a social media server? They need some serious trust. What should convince to use it?

Correct me if I mistaken, regarding trust: (1) it is open source (2) All data is local (on own computer or VPS). You communicate with it through telegram etc.

"All data is local" doesn't sound like trust to me. This thing communicates with soclal media programs independently, right? They are online, so being local is no solid property and a questionable statement.

Does any online fingerprint of it exist? We need a list of all remote targets it communicates with and prove integrity. I never used it but it smells like Matrix. Is it subjected to a centralized authority that identifies users?

Think you're misunderstanding what it does.

Possbile. How does it retrieve existing Whatsapp conversations from the Meta servers?
Or does the actual Whatsapp app have to be running in a hidden virtual environment to pull the information from its screen?

This is no different from running a bot on X/Twitter, discord or IRC.

I could make a scriot send keyboard and mouse events to my X account in a browser, but it probably gets banned for automated user activity. A step further is to do entire new account creation too... Is that it? I have the idea running this from your own outside ip is a bad idea...
