Mira Desktop AI
Mira Desktop AI is a 100% local, offline Windows assistant featuring a fully expressive VRM avatar overlay, accessible anytime via Shift + F1.
Mira Desktop AI turns your Windows desktop into a private AI companion, complete with a fully animated VRM avatar that reacts to your commands and questions. Activated with Shift + F1, the transparent overlay appears on top of any application—whether you’re gaming, working, or browsing—so you can summon help or chat without interrupting your flow.
Under the hood, the app is built in Unity using a top‐level transparent window and the UniVRM framework. The avatar can display a wide range of facial expressions (happy, sad, angry, ...) and procedural animations (thinking, hand waving, ...) driven by streamed responses from Ollama models. All processing happens locally for instant replies and total privacy, with minimal resource use when idle.
Designed to be model-agnostic and fully customizable, Mira Desktop AI works with any Ollama model and will soon support the MCP protocol for advanced function calling. You can swap in your own VRM avatar and tweak the system prompt to give your assistant its own personality. Whether you need quick answers, code help, or just a friendly face, Mira Desktop AI brings a personal touch to your everyday Windows experience.
