Bolt: Gemma 4 runs 100% on-device on iPhone to drive a robot dog health companion
DynamicWebPaige · x · 2026-11-11
Bolt, built at the AGI House Gemma hackathon, is an on-device iPhone health companion paired with an open-source robot dog body:
- Architecture: a Bluetooth heart-rate wearable streams vitals → Google Gemma 4 runs 100% locally via LiteRT-LM (works in airplane mode, nothing sent to a server) → generates insight cards and chat answers → an on-screen 3D companion mirrors the Petoi Quaddle robot dog's moves.
- The pitch: a tiny robot dog walking up to your desk after a 4-hour coding session to stare until you drink water or stand up.
- MIT-licensed code plus a Gemma + Petoi starter repo for reuse.
A complete recipe combining on-device small models, open-source hardware, and wearable data.
