Building a proactive personal agent clone of OpenAI dots with open-source Pi Durable

Elvis Omarsar built his own personal agent using @pidotdev's open-source Pi Durable, as a quick clone of OpenAI's dots.
The agent is proactive: it keeps working while you're away, remembers you, runs jobs on a schedule, waits for your approval, and uses its own compute. He has since added connectors to test proactive capabilities and improved memory. His core message: own your personal agent — open-source tools make it fast to build.
