Summary
A developer showcases building a personal agent with Pi Durable, highlighting checkpointed durable execution, persistent memory across sessions, scheduled jobs with durable approvals, and a full Linux desktop environment each agent 'Space' can control, with model routing via OpenRouter and plans to open-source the setup.

Own your personal agent, folks.
Just built my own little personal agent with @pidotdev’s Pi Durable.
I wanted to see how quickly I could build an OpenAI dots clone with open-source tools.
I am amazed at how quickly I got this off the ground.
It’s proactive.
It keeps working when you’re not watching. It remembers you, runs jobs on a schedule, waits for your approval, and uses its own computer.
Pi Durable makes that possible.
Every step is checkpointed. I can kill the process mid-task, and My Pi picks up right where it left off.
Memory lives in durable documents. What My Pi learns about me in one Space survives a crash and carries over to every other Space.
Approvals are durable too.
It also has its own computer. Each Space gets a full Linux desktop that My Pi controls with screenshots, mouse, and keyboard.
The model runs through OpenRouter, so I can swap models without changing anything else. That’s all configurable however you like it.
If you’ve been wanting your own personal agent, now is a great time to build one.
I am building this as an experimental ground where I can test new ideas and experiment deeply with proactive personal agents. But I plan to open-source it after testing it a bit and adding more interesting primitives.
The goal is to make it customizable and easy to build on, so others can experiment with their own personal agent functionalities.
