Personal Pi Agent

·1 views

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend So for this challenge, I built a lightweight personal AI assistant powered by Google’s Gemma open-weight model, accessed through OpenRouter, and I wanted it to be an always-on agent & so I deployed it on a DigitalOcean Droplet. This assistant was actually inspired by Open-AI's Dots & Meta's Muse. The bot is accessible through Telegram, so I can interact with it directly from my phone instead of opening a separate AI application. It uses Pi as the agent runtime and pi-gateway to connect Telegram with persistent Pi

I tested the OCR switch instead of trusting its label

An OCR checkbox is easy to overinterpret. I see it next to a PDF extractor and assume it will recognize the page again when the existing text is broken. That assumption deserves a test. In a controlled example this week, enabling the checkbox produced exactly the same damaged text as disabling it. The tool reached its completed state both times.

How we built a verifiable public intelligence timeline

Exchange hacks, CISA Known Exploited entries, sudden QDII subscription reopenings — the primary sources are scattered. Another paraphrasing portal is easy to ship. Time Signals (Chinese name 时代线报) takes a harder constraint: pages meant for citation should expose facts without running JavaScript, and every item should link back to an original public source. This article only describes what is already visible on the public site. The sister project Colorful Toolhub is a free, browser-local toolkit; Time Signals is the public-source timeline and incident evidence layer.

How to Set Up Graftcode's AI Coding Rules in Any IDE

Coding assistants are becoming important in development workflows. Developers use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Windsurf to generate code and automate tasks that are often handled manually. The challenge is that these tools typically follow common development patterns. When asked to connect applications and services, they often generate REST APIs, controllers, routes, and integration layers because that's how most modern software is built. In this blog post, you'll learn how Graftcode helps solve that problem: a tool that exposes backend methods as installable packages yo
