Dev seeks stack advice for building a personal news and travel agent on an RTX 5090
rubenhak · reddit · 2026-11-08
A developer on Reddit asks how to build a personal agent for two jobs: curating news on topics of interest and helping with travel planning and ticket search.
He lays out three candidate approaches: building his own on Pydantic AI or Google ADK, using a harness like Hermes, or going with ready-made products like Dots or GrokBot. He also asks which models, APIs, and MCP servers fit travel and news use cases, and how to keep costs down.
He has a spare workstation with an RTX 5090 and is open to running models locally. No answers yet, but the thread sketches a practical stack question for agent builders.
