Meet Moss: a 3D desktop sloth you can talk to. She does your chores and brags about it.

Description and use

Moss is a local 3D assistant that performs simple desktop chores without sending data to the cloud, achieving 92 % command accuracy.

Problem

The author wanted a local AI assistant that could perform simple desktop chores without sending data to the cloud, avoiding API costs and privacy concerns.

Outcome

Moss achieved 92% command accuracy across 540 phrasings, improved from 69% with a strict matcher alone, and never sent data outside the local machine.

Workflow

• 1. User speaks a command.
• 2. Whisper large‑v3‑turbo transcribes audio.
• 3. A strict matcher checks for exact command patterns.
• 4. If matched, Moss executes the chore immediately.
• 5. If ambiguous, Gemma 4 (via Ollama) returns a JSON verdict.
• 6. Moss performs the chore and speaks the result using Kokoro‑82M voice.
• 7. Moss updates the lazy score and reports it aloud.

Evidence

She tells me how many items and how much space first, then waits for a "yes".
