What this is
A personal household assistant you talk to over Telegram. Routine chat and tool calls prefer a local OpenAI-compatible model; harder questions, research, and failures fall through to a cloud reasoning model. Home Assistant does the physical work - lights, speakers, and the rest of the house graph.
Think Iron Man “talk to the house” energy without the movie budget: shopping lists, notes, reminders, briefings, weather, and multi-step routines, with household memory that survives a reboot.
How it feels
You message the bot like any chat. The agent routes locally when it can, calls skills (Home Assistant, lists, scheduler, TTS), and answers in the same thread. Family members can share a household context with per-user profiles and scoped notes.
Try the chat
A Telegram-style pane on this page. No live bot - scripted skills and routing tags so you can poke at the interaction model. Chips below seed common asks.
Simulation only - no Telegram token, no Home Assistant calls leave this page.
Under the hood
Local first. Day-to-day dialogue and tool calling hit an OpenAI-compatible server on the LAN. Prefixes like think: force cloud reasoning when you want it.
Skills. Extensible tools for home control, shopping, expenses, family messaging, routines, news, weather, and speaker announcements.
Memory. SQLite-backed conversation history, notes, and household state so the agent is not amnesic between restarts.
Looking ahead
Hardening always-on deploy, voice on the LAN, and more proactive house automations - still chat-first, still local when possible.
Bottom line
A practical chat front door for the house: local models for the common path, cloud when it matters, Home Assistant for the wires.
