🤖 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:
- LM Studio Connector → Connect and list your local models
- System Resource Monitor → Real-time CPU, RAM, GPU tracking
- Model Configuration Engine → Profiles with resource requirements and fallback chains
- Smart Model Switching → Silently pick the best model for the job
🗺️ The Full Roadmap — 15 Phases of Awesome
v1.0 Core (The Brain) 🧠
Foundation systems: Local models, safety, memory, and conversation
1️⃣ Model Interface & Switching ← We are here 2️⃣ Safety & Sandboxing 3️⃣ Resource Management 4️⃣ Memory & Context Management 5️⃣ Conversation Engine
v1.1 Interfaces & Intelligence (The Agency) 💪
She talks back, improves herself, and has opinions
6️⃣ CLI Interface 7️⃣ Self-Improvement System 8️⃣ Approval Workflow 9️⃣ Personality System 🔟 Discord Interface ← She'll hang out with you here!
v1.2 Presence & Mobile (The Presence) ✨
Visual, voice, and everywhere you go
1️⃣1️⃣ Offline Operations 1️⃣2️⃣ Voice Visualization 1️⃣3️⃣ Desktop Avatar 1️⃣4️⃣ Android App 1️⃣5️⃣ Device Synchronization
💥 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.
