LittleHive local-first multi-agent assistant foundation

LittleHive 🐝

A private, local-first AI executive assistant built exclusively for Apple Silicon.

LittleHive runs entirely on your Mac — powered by Mistral's Ministral 8B or 14B model via Apple's MLX framework. Your emails, calendar, and personal data never leave your machine.

No cloud AI. No subscription. Just a fast, intelligent assistant on your hardware.

✨ Features

• 100% Local AI — Runs Ministral 8B/14B natively on Apple Silicon via MLX with KV prompt caching for sub-second responses.
• Google Workspace — Connects to Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Tasks. Read, draft, send emails; create events; manage tasks.
• Web Search — Search the web via DuckDuckGo for current events, prices, or facts the model isn't confident about.
• Proactive Scheduling — Background threads poll for new emails, fire reminders on time, and sync your calendar automatically.
• Long-Term Memory — Remembers important facts across conversations. Nightly extraction saves key details from your chats.
• Contacts Directory — Manage stakeholders with optional auto-reply drafting for trusted contacts.
• Finance Tracking — Track bills, due dates, and mark payments as they come in.
• Telegram Bot — Chat with your assistant from Telegram with typing indicators and chat ID authorization.
• Web Dashboard — A local web interface with real-time chat, context usage monitoring, dark mode, and full configuration.
• Self-Updating — Check for and install updates directly from PyPI with a single command.
