Lumi is a personal AI agent that belongs to my household, not to a vendor. It runs on my own hardware, chats from our phones, plans the family calendar, writes the morning brief, and remembers what matters, with every action visible and anything risky waiting for my approval.
I'm now extracting it into homeagent: the same agent with every name, account, and address turned into a setting, so any household can install it with Docker Compose and own its own agent.
Personality, what it knows about the family, long-term memory, daily notes, goals, and skills all live as Markdown in a git repo. Models come and go underneath; the brain stays ours.
A router scores each message: everyday and private requests go to a local model on a home GPU, harder ones go to Claude. The app always labels which one answered.
Its own command-line tools for calendars, mail, reminders, the family planner, documents, and pictures from a local image model. Missions run plan → act → check → learn on a schedule.
Sending mail, booking events, or anything hard to undo goes through a proposal I approve. Every task, where it ran, and what it cost shows up in a live control room.
Under the hood
Every project lives in the same layout and runs through the same operations script. Deploy, restart, back up, and health checks work identically everywhere, so nothing needs remembering four months later.
That uniformity is also what makes AI agents useful here: an agent can operate any project without special cases, because the commands and exit codes never change.
