I’m working on small agent harness at home for a personal assistant. In spirit it’s similar to OpenClaw or Hermes Agent but I’m mostly using it for learning about agent harnesses to get a better understanding of the ecosystem.

Overall it’s been a fun learning experience and I’m looking forward to some more of the hardware work I’ll need to jump into soon. I really want to get a more focused kitchen / cooking oriented voice assistant working. So far I have a few simple voice-to-timer settings done e.g. “set a 10 minute timer for the pasta” that tells me “ding! Pasta timer” when it goes off. You can set as many concurrent timers as you need with different names.

I need some better hardware before I try using the pi for full hands free while cooking. I’ve mostly been using a webapp on my phone but afaik you can’t easily wake word a phone on a web app without some real hacking.

Overall the projects been enjoyable, once you understand the basics of a harness it feels like there’s a lot of problems you can throw them at.
