Miso
An iMessage-based AI travel assistant that enables users to search, compare, and book flights and hotels through natural language conversation. The system supports preference learning and completes the full transaction within the chat interface.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Miso's local deployment process requires no API key configuration or account registration, and Windows users can run install.bat directly
Miso is an interactive desktop pet project that runs entirely locally with zero cloud dependencies, submitted by developer CodewithTanzeel in the Touch Grass Challenge at Hacktoberfest
Miso tracks focus duration, and after the timer reaches zero, it generates scolding phrases via a locally running large language model and reads them aloud using offline TTS to urge the user to go outdoors
Miso is intentionally designed for old, low-spec hardware, with a target device of an i7-6600U with 8GB of RAM
Miso supports embedding the local small models SmolLM2 or Qwen2.5, and can be replaced with any compatible .gguf model
Miso supports switching characters via the MISO_CHARACTER environment variable, and custom pets can be created by dropping in a GIF and a config.json
Miso's technology stack includes Python 3.10+, PyQt6, transformers, llama-cpp-python (CPU inference), pyttsx3 (offline TTS), and pynput (idle detection)
The fully local architecture was chosen because cloud-based solutions require internet connectivity, upload screen usage time data, charge for every API call, and cannot run on old hardware
Miso requires pynput to detect the user's keyboard and mouse activity in order to determine whether the user is idle
Miso's capability ceiling is constrained by CPU inference and the small models themselves, and the quality of generated content and response speed cannot compare with cloud-based large models
