Created a mini “claw” AI assistant that uses Simon Willison’s LLM cli for interfacing with large language models. I am using the free Ollama cloud models although I may bump up to the $20/month plan. My assistant is running on an 8GB Raspberry Pi 5 sitting on my desk in my home office. Currently the only way to interact with it is through a Telegram bot I created but since I have Tailscale running on the Pi I’m looking to make a command line interface that I can access on my iPad Pro using the Blink Terminal app. I’m having a blast!.
