Orb – Self-hosted AI assistant that messages you first
SMRTR summary
Orb is a self-hosted AI assistant that proactively reaches out to you instead of waiting to be asked. Unlike typical AI tools, it runs on your own hardware, monitors your projects, plans ahead, and only sends phone notifications when something truly matters. It supports voice conversations, background task management, and multiple AI models, while keeping all your data local and requiring your explicit approval before taking any real-world action.
