In the Otherland series of cyberpunk novels Beezle Bug is the virtual assistant of Orlando Gardiner, one of the main characters. Originally a kids' toy, it was upgraded many times until it's almost as sentient as a real person. Beezle Bug has two different forms of appearance. In the virtual world it appears as a creature with many arms and legs. It can also download itself into a spider-like toy robot in the physical world.
Like its fictional counterpart our Beezle Bug agent starts as a limited toy project and will hopefully grow into a useful tool over time. Beezle is running completely locally and requires a running llama.cpp server.
With Beezle Bug we want to explore agentive behaviours like
- Autonomy
- Cooperation
- Self Improvement
Beezle Bug is an autonomous and proactive agent.
