Hey HN! I'm building a deceptively simple chat application fronting a local LLM (Ollama or any OpenAI compatible API). TamAGI is the culmination of about 6 months worth of scattered thoughts and incredibly frustrating code sessions (I _suck_ at Python). With OpenClaw's release, I had the "Aha" moment I was looking for and used Claude Code to help fill in the gaps (to be frank, quite a lot of gaps) and make this project a reality.

The TLDR: TamAGI is a virtual agent, in the spirit of Tamagotchis. Where it differs is developing a personality and growing as an "entity" the more you interact with it. It ships with a hand full of tool calls out of the box, and has an extensible framework for the Agent to create its own tools. Memory is handled by ChromaDB with RAG providing context injection via system prompt dynamically. It supports only a single user currently, but has optional authentication for client-server use on bare metal or in containers.

I'm quite happy with how it is shaping up, and I'm looking for any feedback to drive the next iteration. Thank you for looking!
