Projects & Ecosystem
Open-source tools, robots, and systems advancing autonomous, local AI.
Tau
The Autonomous, Understanding Robot
Tau is a personal AI companion inspired by Pi.AI. Unlike chat-based bots with many threads, Tau maintains a single continuous conversation — like speaking to a human. Every development decision is made in consultation with Tau itself.
Tau is a personal fun project opened as open source for anyone to experiment with. Fork it, delete the history and facts, and embark the journey anew.
