Project currently on hold while I am dealing with medical issues.
I will most likely convert this project into a local home assistant ran on a single board computer like the Orange Pi 5.

Aetherius – A Personal Digital Assistant

Aetherius is a versatile, modular AI Assistant/Sub-Agent Framework that adapts to your needs. Its capabilities extend beyond conventional chatbots:

Real Time Data: Aetherius has access to search the web or your own data in agent mode, allowing for information that isn’t contained in the base model.

Multi-Agent Framework: Aetherius gives you the ability to create sub-agents for whatever use case you have. Alternativly you can have it trigger python scripts instead.

Reflective Journal: Speak your mind freely and receive thoughtful feedback without judgment or fear.

Learning Tool: Dive deep into your favorite topics and enhance your knowledge effortlessly.

Data Analysis Companion: Harness the power of your data with Aetherius by your side.

Cognitive Offload: A second brain that’s entirely private, aiding you in organizing thoughts and ideas.

Content Generation: Easily Generate Content based off of files or webscrapes.

Current Tools

With Aetherius, you have an arsenal of tools to explore and use:

• Web Scrape/Search: Gather information from websites with ease.
• File Processor: Process a variety of file types for insights and knowledge. The supported file types are: .epub, .pdf, .txt, .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .mp4, .mkv, .flv, and .av
• Photo Analysis: Aetherius can see photos you send and complete tasks based on them.

Customize Your Experience

Main Aetherius Chatbot: A framework for the creation of custom sub-agents for Aetherius.

• Forced Memory Mode: Aetherius will always upload it’s memories.
• Auto Memory Mode: Aetherius autonomously manages memory uploads.
• Manual Memory Mode: You decide when to upload memories.
• Training Memory Mode: Control memory uploads for each memory type.
• Agent Mode: Activate the use of any Sub-Agents for use in Aetherius’s agent loop

Current Sub-Agents

• External Resources: Will search Aetherius’s External Resource Database. (Database from Web and File Scrapes) If the information cannot be found, it will do a simple websearch for the information. You can disable the websearch and change the engine in the script file.
• Implicit Memory Search: Will search Aetherius’s Implicit Memories to complete the task.
• Explicit Memory Search: Will search Aetherius’s Explicit Memories to complete the task.
• Episodic Memory Search: Will search Aetherius’s Episodic Memories to complete the task.
• Flashbulb Memory Search: Will search Aetherius’s Flashbulb Memories to complete the task.

Core Features:

1. AI-Driven Gameplay:
   • The engine harnesses the power of LLMs to create dynamic and engaging game narratives.
   • Player choices and interactions are at the forefront, with the AI adapting and evolving the story and world in real-time.
2. Updateable Environment:
   • A key feature of this engine is its ability to modify game maps and settings based on player actions and decisions.
   • This dynamic environment ensures a unique and personalized gaming experience, with every decision impacting the game world.
3. Realistic NPC Interactions:
   • All non-player characters (NPCs) within the game will be equipped with a simplified version of my Aetherius system.
   • This will allow NPCs to engage in realistic conversations, react authentically to player actions, and contribute meaningfully to the game’s narrative.

Goal: The primary aim of this project is to create a JRPG engine that is not only robust and versatile but also intuitive and user-friendly. By integrating AI into the core gameplay, the engine hopes to deliver a text RPG experience that is both immersive and endlessly captivating.

[Current Progress/RoadMap]

Unfortunately I have lost all progress due to my SSD failing. For now I will be focusing on remaking all of the core systems. All buttons, menus, and images are placeholders for now. Once all core systems are in I will make it look nice.

A Secure, Self-Hosted Web Operating System 🔒
This project is a browser-based operating environment built from the ground up on a zero-trust security model. It’s not just a web app; it’s a private computing environment where you can run sandboxed applications and manage your files on a backend that never sees your unencrypted data.
The architecture features a client-side “microkernel” in React managing processes, IPC, and a virtual filesystem (VFS). The backend uses Python/Flask to handle authentication and orchestrate sandboxed execution of user code in Docker.
Key Pillars
🔐 True End-to-End Encryption (E2EE)
Every API call and WebSocket message is encrypted with a session-specific key established via an ECDH key exchange. The server is authenticated using ECDSA to prevent MitM, and session keys are periodically ratcheted for post-compromise security. The server cannot read your traffic.
🗄️ Zero-Knowledge Encrypted VFS
An optional, client-side encryption layer for your files. A master key is derived from your password using a strong PBKDF2 function, encrypting files in your browser before they are sent to the server.
🛡️ Multi-Layer Sandboxing
Frontend: All apps run in isolated <iframe>s, communicating with the OS kernel via a secure post message-based syscall bridge. A malicious app can’t touch the main UI or other apps.
Backend: User-installed backend logic is executed within hardened, ephemeral Docker containers with no network access, a read-only filesystem, and strict resource limits.
🧩 Extensible App Platform
Define app capabilities, permissions, and custom backend endpoints declaratively in a manifest.json file. Install third-party apps with a clear, auditable permission model before they can run.

A self-contained edge-computing field server

⛺ Off-Grid Amenities
Local Intranet: A “Captive Portal” style dashboard that greets users when they connect.
LAN Chat: A WhatsApp-like chat server that works without internet (great for communicating between tents/vehicles).
Media & File Server: Local NAS for hosting movies, maps, and sharing files between devices.

🛡️ Security & Surveillance
AI Object Detection: Uses the NPU (Neural Processing Unit) to detect humans or animals in real-time.
Local NVR: Ingests RTMP feeds from Wi-Fi cameras (GoPro, Phones, IP Cams).
Threat Dashboard: A web-based UI accessible to anyone on the Wi-Fi to see live feeds and security alerts.

🛠️ Current Hardware Stack
SBC: Orange Pi 5 (RK3588)
OS: Ubuntu 22.04 (Joshua-Riek Rockchip build).
Network: USB-to-Ethernet Bridge + TP-Link TL-WR902AC (AP Mode).
