MAVIS: a personal AI assistant that writes its own tools, subagents and self-reflects
trinitron1f · reddit · 2026-10-21
Reddit user trinitron1f built MAVIS, a personal autonomous AI assistant that can write its own tools and subagents to adapt to user needs, plus an experimental self-reflection loop that picks useful topics to explore and grow its knowledge base.
Design goals emphasize determinism, security, and flexibility. The author published a blog series covering planning, synthesis, security, observability, caching, and self-reflection, open-sourced the repo, and is seeking design feedback.
