VONET – an AI PC agent that understands your commands and controls your PC directly.

Meet Vonet, an experimental autonomous AI agent that understands natural language and executes commands on your Windows PC.

Ever wished you could just tell your computer what to do, like in a sci-fi movie? "Computer, clean up my desktop," or "My Wi-Fi is slow, fix it."

That's the idea that led me to build Vonet, an experimental autonomous AI agent that runs on your Windows PC. It uses Google's Gemini model to understand natural language and then executes PowerShell commands to get the job done. Effectively acting as an AI assistant with direct control over your PC.

Here's a quick look at it in action:

✨ What is Vonet?

Vonet is more than just a chatbot. It's designed to be a "thinking" agent that can plan and act. At its core, it has a few key features:

🤖 Autonomous Control: You give it a high-level goal, and it figures out the PowerShell commands needed to achieve it. Acting as an AI assistant with direct control over your PC.
🧠 Natural Language Understanding: Powered by Google's Gemini, it can parse complex requests and hold a conversation.
💾 Persistent Memory: It remembers your name and conversation history between sessions, so you don't have to start over every time.
🗣️ Voice Feedback: It uses an offline TTS engine to provide audible responses, making the interaction feel more natural.

🛠️ The Tech Stack

This project was a fun way to combine a few different technologies:

Backend: Python

AI Model: Google Gemini

GUI: CustomTkinter

TTS: Piper (for fast, offline text-to-speech)

System Control: PowerShell

⚠️ A Quick Word of Warning

This is an experimental project. Vonet has the ability to execute any PowerShell command, which means it can modify system files, install software, or change settings. Please use it with caution and on a system you're not afraid to break!

🚀 Check it out on GitHub!

This post is just a high-level overview. If you want to dive into the source code, see the full system prompt I designed for the AI, or even try running it yourself, you can find everything in the GitHub repository.

I've included a full README.md with detailed setup instructions.

Stars are greatly appreciated, and I'd love to hear your feedback or ideas for new features in the issues! Thanks for reading.

ChatNONET (Offline/local AI Assistant) for Android

✨ Run Offline AI Chatbots on Android with ChatNONET – No Internet Needed!

🧠 ChatNONET is a fully offline Android app that uses quantized LLMs to answer your questions – fast, private, and without internet access.

🚀 What is ChatNONET?

ChatNONET is my open-source Android app that brings the power of local large language models (LLMs) to your device — no internet required. It's powered by my own fine-tuned models called NONET, built for fast, accurate, direct question answering.

Whether you're offline, privacy-conscious, or just love tinkering with AI, this app is for you.

🔧 How Does It Work?

ChatNONET uses:

🔗 Fine-tuned LLMs (based on Smollm & LLaMA 3.2)
⚙️ Quantized to .gguf format using llama.cpp
📱 Integrated into a native Android app (built in Android Studio)
🧠 Supports multiple model sizes from 135M to 3B parameters

📦 Download and Try

📲 Download ChatNONET APK
🧠 Download the NONET Models on Hugging Face

You can also run the model in Python using llama.cpp:

./llama-cli -m ./ChatNONET-300m-tuned-q8_0.gguf -p "You are ChatNONET AI assistant." -cnv

🛠 Model Variants

Model Name	Base	Size
ChatNONET-135M	Smollm	135M
ChatNONET-300M	Smollm	300M
ChatNONET-1B	LLaMA 3.2	1B
ChatNONET-3B	LLaMA 3.2	3B

All models are quantized using q8_0 for smooth performance.

💡 Why Offline?

🔐 Privacy – No data leaves your phone.
🌍 Connectivity – Works even in remote areas.
🚀 Speed – No server, no lag.
📱 Control – You choose the model and usage.

💻 Open Source on GitHub

🙋‍♂️ Who Is This For?

Android developers interested in AI
Hobbyists & privacy advocates
Students learning about local LLMs
Anyone who wants ChatGPT-like power without the cloud

I built ChatNONET to explore how far local AI can go — and the results are exciting! You don’t need powerful servers or always-on internet. You just need your curiosity, an Android phone, and a bit of model magic.
