4.1
The premise
No cloud, no subscription, no data leaving the room: a personal AI assistant that lives on a Raspberry Pi 5 on my desk, running a quantized Qwen model locally.
4.2
The architecture
A self-growing MCP architecture: Javier can be granted new tools at runtime, each one gated behind human approval. An infrared camera adds eye tracking — look left and the active window snaps left. It controls the OS, the smart home, and answers on Telegram around the clock.
