Inspiration

microsoft clippy was the inspiration for this. i wanted to make like actual human like desktop assistant that just not for someone just try but actual find it helpful.

What it does

  • it can save reminders(only text) or notes for you
  • imp memories about you
  • can see your screen for context and talk about it
  • has multiple animations

How we built it

  • Tauri desktop app with React/TypeScript UI and Rust backend.
  • and with codex (gpt 5.6 terra xhigh)

Challenges we ran into

  • making prompting and tooling work great so that it can identify and call tools when needed
  • one issue was connecting codex exec as tooling so that it can run coding task or file creation tasks , i was able to achieve this so i have to remove this. but i will work on it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • an actual wokring companion that looks cute

What we learned

  • local model inference in rust (still need to work on it)
  • making pixel art

What's next for daemon

  • improving behaviour
  • adding codex pipeline
  • voice mode
  • more animations and states
