This project provides an experimental framework for building fully local AI agents. It now includes a small retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) example using the open-source Qwen model. The agent can respond using a local text-to-speech engine configured with a British accent.

• Works completely offline. Models are expected to be available locally.
• Simple FAISS index for document retrieval.
• Text-to-speech output using pyttsx3. A British voice is selected by default, but you can specify any installed voice with the voice_name argument. Call list_available_voices() to see voices detected on your system.
• Example script rag_assistant.py that demonstrates question answering over a small set of documents. Conversation logs can optionally be stored in SurrealDB.

Run one_click_setup.sh on Linux/macOS or one_click_setup.bat on Windows to create a virtual environment, install dependencies, and register the assistant to start automatically whenever you log in. After running the script, the assistant launches immediately and will auto-start on reboot.

1. Download the desired Qwen model (for example Qwen/Qwen-7B-Chat) and place it in a local directory.
2. Install dependencies (or just run the one-click script):

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   Alternatively, execute ./one_click_setup.sh or one_click_setup.bat which will install everything automatically.
3. Prepare a set of text documents you want the assistant to search through.
4. Run the example:

   python rag_assistant.py

   Ask a question and the assistant will respond aloud with a British accent. To use a specific installed voice, pass the voice_name argument when creating LocalRAGAssistant, e.g. LocalRAGAssistant(model_path="Qwen/Qwen-7B-Chat", voice_name="lottie"). You can also enable the BMAD Method and Evolve 2 workflow with use_bmad=True and by passing a custom Evolve2Workflow instance.

You can store conversation history using a local SurrealDB instance. Run surreal start to launch the database, then execute the assistant with logging enabled:

python rag_assistant.py

The default configuration assumes the database is available at http://localhost:8000 with the default root credentials. Results will be stored in a conversation table and can be inspected using the Surrealist UI.

A minimal React Native app is included in rn_app/. It provides a simple text-based interface to the assistant and is intended as a starting point for integrating the Evolve 2 workflow engine.

To run the React Native demo (dependencies must be installed beforehand):

cd rn_app
npm start

The demo uses placeholders for backend calls. Connect it to your local Python assistant or Evolve 2 service as needed.

workflow_engine.py includes minimal stubs for the BMAD Method and the Evolve 2 workflow engine. Enable these components when creating LocalRAGAssistant to preprocess input or orchestrate multi-step agent behaviors.

You can create standalone binaries of rag_assistant.py using PyInstaller.

pip install pyinstaller
./build_exe.sh

Run the commands inside a Windows environment:

pip install pyinstaller
build_exe.bat

The resulting executable will appear in the dist/ folder. Because PyInstaller does not cross-compile, you must run the build command on each platform you want to target.
