The Globe

A locally-hosted, visually reactive neural electric globe that acts as a physical embodiment of an AI agent. Built with SvelteKit, Three.js, GLSL shaders, and Hermes Agent.

Features

• Neural Electric Visual — 330+ nodes in 12 clusters, persistent graph, traveling sparks
• Transparent Desktop Window — floats on your wallpaper (Electron)
• Voice Interaction — Piper TTS (local female voice), Web Speech API STT
• Hermes Agent Brain — skills, memory, sessions, tools
• Color-Shifting — changes based on mood/context (blue=idle, amber=speaking)
• Always Alive — breathing, sparking, evolving even when idle
• Device Stats — real-time CPU, RAM, GPU monitoring
