Show HN: AutoBot – live voice control for long-running AI work

I wanted to manage long horizon agentic workstreams via voice, then put my phone down, and have a harness manage completion - extending into full computer use.

I was trying to build a personal Jarvis, so I benchmarked AutoBot to see how close I could get:

- OSWorld: 32.41% (moved Sol Max from 4th to 1st, beating Opus 5)

- AssistantBench: 50.70%

Hermes and OpenClaw, but without needing a weekend and VMs. And with the ability to manage deep personalization AND keep strict privacy rules, storing data on encrypted disk.

AutoBot is a passion project that grew out of trying to make this all work for myself.

I’m sharing it here because I suspect other here have the same frustration. And I’m curious what else everyone is doing for this.

It’s an MIT-licensed harness that lives within a project.

Native voice lets me discuss tasks, check progress, and steer work; a local ledger tracks unfinished outputs and the evidence needed to call them done. Memory drives more autonomy over time, and defrags and locks in learning nightly while a heartbeat system persists execution.

I’m not selling anything. If you’re building something similar for yourself, I’d love to compare notes.
