Self-hosted AI assistant Relagent reaches alpha stadium (version 0.1.13)

A few month since I started experimenting with using AI as an software building block, I reached a point where the self-hosted assistant “Relagent” is good enough to be useful for daily conversations. The project provides a solid base to run an completely independent personal AI chat on your own hardware.

Available core features

  • Cross system compatibility: Free choice of platform. Web and Android work great. iOS and Windows need testing.
  • Persistent sessions: Open new sessions and continue them on and device. Data stays on your systems only.
  • Voice integration: Dictate instead of typing, let answers be read out. Choose from about 40 languages. All voice handling happens on your device only.
  • Use any open-weights model: By using the very well established Open AI chat completions protocol you can choose the inference service that works best for you. No external service needed - but you can use one.
  • API Key Authentication: Restrict access to your data. Combine with a HTTPS proxy or a VPN to protect your data while accessing it from anywhere.
