# 🤖 Mai Project Progress Report
|
||
|
||
**Date:** January 27, 2026 | **Status:** 🔥 Actively in Development | **Milestone:** v1.0 Core Foundation
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## ✨ What is Mai?
|
||
|
||
Mai is an **autonomous conversational AI agent** that doesn't just chat — **she improves herself**. She's a genuinely intelligent companion with a distinct personality, real memory, and agency. She analyzes her own code, proposes improvements, and auto-applies changes for review.
|
||
|
||
Think of her as an AI that *actually* learns and grows, not one that resets every conversation.
|
||
|
||
### 🎯 The Vision
|
||
- **🏠 Runs entirely local** — No cloud, no corporate servers, no Big Tech listening in
|
||
- **📚 Learns and improves** — Gets smarter from your interactions over time
|
||
- **🎭 Has real personality** — Distinct values, opinions, boundaries, and authentic growth
|
||
- **📱 Works everywhere** — Desktop, mobile, fully offline with graceful fallbacks
|
||
- **🔄 Syncs seamlessly** — Continuity across all your devices
|
||

||
|
||
## 🚀 Development Status
|
||
|
||
### Phase 1: Model Interface & Switching — PLANNING COMPLETE ✅
|
||
**Status:** Ready to execute | **Timeline:** This month
|
||
|
||
This is where Mai gets **brains**. We're building the foundation for her to:
|
||
- 🧠 Connect to LM Studio for lightning-fast local model inference
|
||
- 🔍 Auto-detect what models you have available
|
||
- ⚡ Intelligently switch between models based on the task *and* what your hardware can handle
|
||
- 💬 Manage conversation context efficiently (keeping memory lean without losing context)
|
||
|
||
**What ships with Phase 1:**
|
||
1. **LM Studio Connector** → Connect and list your local models
|
||
2. **System Resource Monitor** → Real-time CPU, RAM, GPU tracking
|
||
3. **Model Configuration Engine** → Profiles with resource requirements and fallback chains
|
||
4. **Smart Model Switching** → Silently pick the best model for the job

## 💥 Why This Matters
|
||
|
||
### The Problem with Current AI
|
||
❌ **Static** — Same responses every time, doesn't actually learn
|
||
❌ **Forgetful** — You have to re-explain everything each conversation
|
||
❌ **Soulless** — Feels like talking to a corporate database
|
||
❌ **Watched** — Always pinging servers, always recording
|
||
❌ **Stuck** — Can't improve or evolve, just runs the same code forever
|
||
|
||
### What Makes Mai Different
|
||
✅ **Genuinely learns** — Long-term memory that evolves into personality layers
|
||
✅ **Truly offline** — Everything happens on *your* machine. No cloud. No spying.
|
||
✅ **Real personality** — Distinct values, opinions, boundaries, and authentic growth
|
||
✅ **Self-improving** — Analyzes her own code, proposes improvements, auto-applies safe changes
|
||
✅ **Everywhere** — Desktop avatar, voice visualization, native mobile app, full sync
|
||
✅ **Safely autonomous** — Second-agent review system = no broken modifications
|
||
|
||
**The difference:** Mai doesn't just chat. She *remembers*, *grows*, and *improves herself over time*. She's a real collaborator, not a tool.
