A private AI assistant you own: a Raspberry Pi 5 with a 10.1" touchscreen that runs Gemma 3 4B entirely on-device. Chat, long-term memory, reminders, voice and answers from your own documents all work with the router unplugged. No account, no subscription, push-to-talk mic with no wake word, and a live view of every outbound connection so you can verify the privacy yourself. Honest trade: answers take ~15-20 s, and it's a small model, not a frontier one. $549 once, hand-built to order.

Could you build this?
No This is a physical hardware product involving custom Raspberry Pi assembly, touchscreen integration, peripheral management, and localized edge optimization for running 4B models offline.
What it would actually take: Requires hardware sourcing, physical chassis/enclosure design (CAD/3D printing or injection molding), and custom Linux distribution/OS image building for the Raspberry Pi 5. The software stack involves optimizing llama.cpp or ONNX Runtime for ARM/GPU execution, integrating local TTS/STT pipelines (like Piper and whisper.cpp), and handling embedded touch UI interfaces.
