Ava — A Local AI Assistant That Can See and Understand Your Screen

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a project I ve been building called Ava.

Imp Aid Digital Solu - A local AI assistant that sees, learns, and helps users

Ava is a local AI assistant designed to understand what’s happening on your computer and help with everyday tasks. By combining language models, computer vision, OCR, and memory, Ava can see what's on the screen, learn from interactions, and assist users in real time. The goal is to build an affordable AI assistant that runs locally on almost any computer with minimal setup while helping protect users from common scams and digital threats.
