AI assistant

Hi, I'm Pomi

A little robot that wanders around your desktop, powered by an AI that runs on your own computer. No account, no internet connection — what you say never leaves your machine.

Pomi・Super+Shift+Space Web demo
Hi, I'm Pomi! Tap a phrase below or type to talk to me.

This is a web demo with scripted replies. The real Pomi runs on your computer; green means a quick command, purple means the model is thinking.

Quick commands

Everyday requests, no waiting for the model

Pomi understands the phrases below directly and handles them in under 0.1 seconds — even before the model is downloaded. Anything else goes to the model, which takes about 1–5 seconds on a typical computer.

Pomi's quick commands are mainly tuned for Chinese phrasing; these are translated examples.

Open apps, websites and files

“Open the terminal”“Open the browser and go to Yahoo”“Go to PTT”“Open the quote in my Documents”“Open the To-do document”“Open the Downloads folder”“Open the calculator”

Close and switch apps

“Close the terminal”“Close the browser”“Switch to Firefox”“Minimize the calculator”

Change settings

“Set the volume to thirty”“A bit louder”“Make the screen a bit dimmer”“Mute”“Turn on dark mode”“Turn on Bluetooth”“Turn off Wi-Fi”“Lock the screen”

Reminders & questions

“Remind me to take a break in 10 minutes”“What time is it?”“What day is it today?”“Weather in Taipei”“How much battery is left?”

Add text to a file

“Add "buy milk" to the end of todo.txt”“Add "pay the phone bill" to the end of my to-do list”“Add … to the end of this file”

Music & small talk

“Play music”“Next song”“Pause”“Hello”“Who are you?”“Which model are you?”“What can you do?”
Safety by design

It always asks before it acts

What Pomi can do is a fixed list of tools — it cannot run arbitrary commands. Anything that touches files shows a confirmation dialog first.

  • Confirm first: before creating, appending, copying, moving or trashing, it shows you the location and content and waits for "OK"
  • Never overwrites: if the destination already exists, it refuses
  • Never really deletes: files only go to the Trash, so you can always restore them
  • Only in your home folder and external drives — never touches hidden files like .ssh or .bashrc
  • Goes online only for weather and web searches, and sends nothing but the city name or search terms

  • About 1.1 GB download, uses about 1.3 GB of RAM while running
  • About 1.8 s per request on average
  • Picks the right tool about 15–16 times out of 20
  • Good for computers with less memory
Standard · recommended

Qwen3-VL 4B

  • About 2.5 GB download
  • About 4.7 s per request on average
  • Picks the right tool about 18 times out of 20, and rarely "talks without doing"
  • Recommended with 8 GB of RAM or more

Measured on an i5-11400 limited to 4 threads (simulating a typical 4-core laptop). Details in the assistant design notes.

3D without a graphics card

Pomi is drawn by Pomelo's own software 3D renderer: about 500 lines of C, no OpenGL, no GPU.

Strolls around on its own

It picks a spot, walks over, pauses to look around and blinks; when your mouse comes close, it watches the cursor. It steps aside when you watch a video full screen.

Call it and it stops

Click it, press Super+Shift+Space, or choose "Ask the assistant" in Search. While thinking, it looks up and its antenna blinks; when it's done, it smiles.

Reads answers aloud

Turn on speech (Piper offline voices, about 90 MB), pick a voice and speed, and it works fully offline. Sound effects are synthesized in real time.
