4 open-source projects chart a learning path for building your own Personal Agent

Blogger xiaomovps laid out a Personal Agent learning path built on Pi Durable, recommending 4 progressive open-source projects:
- pi-durable-hello: 5 minimal examples covering task persistence, crash recovery, request dedup, and realtime listening — no API key needed
- Batty: a personal AI assistant on Pi Durable with long-term memory, scheduled tasks, subagents, skills, MCP, and a mobile PWA; its memory system avoids stuffing full chat history into context
- Pots: an open-source Grok Bot alternative for Telegram/Slack/Discord that proactively works; checks tasks with plain scripts before invoking the LLM to save tokens
- Hearth Pi: connects Pi Durable to Home Assistant for device control with human approval, useful for learning permission design
The path spans crash recovery → long-term memory → proactive execution → real-device control.
