coming straight at you from the depths of /chag/ i am proud to present bonziPONY!
have you ever wished you had your ponyfu on your desktop that you could talk to, that could interact with you, see what you're doing, and even help motivate you to take care of yourself?
introducing bonziPONY
desktop ponies with integrated llm and a fuckton of fun features to find
it's speech to text -> llm, screenvision, sees what youre doing -> text to speech with either elevenlabs (api) or ponivoicetool (local)
>hey dash, go sit in the corner for like 20 minutes
>can you do a trick for me?
>what do you think of this poem i wrote?
and the directives..
>hey rarity i really gotta brush my teeth more often
>god its so late
>ive gotta start going to the gym but i just dont know what to do.
she'll remind you every time you wake up (it detects it based on inactivity or when you say you're going to sleep) to go brush your teeth or go to the gym or to get to bed
if you don't, or if you ignore her, she'll close your tabs, fuck with your mouse, minimize your shit, pause your music, and more!
>alright alright im going im going i'll go do it now
is the only way to stop her once she gets mad.
but thats not all, she'll also just randomly talk to you throughout the day and make chitchat. she'll remember all of it, she'll build a profile on you and remember your sad issues or a job interview you have next week and she'll actively remind you of it or ask how it went and your pone wont stop until you're better (or until you close the program)
she can even see your webcam if you're into that.
she can control your desktop; open any website from natural language, she can read stuff and click places so you can ask her "click on your favorite thing" and she'll look at the screen and choose appropriately (in theory)
the mane 6 have character cards included
you've gotta add your own for the rest, make sure to duplicate the current ones and replace stuff because the llm needs the preset to tell it how the tag system works and shit.
more features will come as they come (probably a lot in the next few days if people use it, i'm sure i'll hear allll about the various bugs on other machines)
enjoy

Hi anon, I'll just say that this project looks painfully vibecoded. Some might find that problematic on its own for reasons of reee at $topic. I feel like I'd need to check every single line of this for malware (also, no lockfile for dependencies in 2026? mare...) but my biggest problem is that it's just less admirable than previous implementations of the idea of desktop ponies. You used to need autism and time to create such stuff, now apparently not really, so I'm sorry, I can't appreciate your work as much as I'd like to.
I hope that's a good piece of software, but I'm just tired of seeing mass generated software without enough autistic consideration of the niche you're creating your software for, which was more of a given when code had to be written by hoof. See: show HN, >r/selfhosted, etc.
Sorry to shit on your stuff, anon, someone would anyway so at least I wanted to give you a more interesting perspective on such "I did it over weekend with a LLM" projects. The effort was what made all the pony tech so worthy of admiration, for me at least.

Just a random, so you can't trust me either, but after a quick look at the code:
- Only online calls are if you use an online API for the voice or text, but you can go full local.
- There doesn't seem to be anything shady: no registry modifs, keyloggers, or anything.
- It simulates clicks with Python and uses Windows API calls to close, minimize things. So nothing shady either here.

Ponyfags have always been ahead of the curve when it comes to this sort of stuff.

Fucking AWESOME, I've been wanting something like this ever since LLMs started getting a bit not-shit a few years ago. It's the perfect usecase for a desktop pony, and especially now that local models are actually getting pretty decent too.
I remember thinking about this like 2 years ago or so and the idea of having it see the screen felt like a distant wish, with vision being nigger-rigged and barely functional in the best of models. And now it's reality and seems to actually even workToo bad it's 2026 and I've gotten rid of windows on every single pc I have lmao

i don't know if it's just me, but speech bubbles are kinda buggy. the self-initiated ones work fine, but when i double-click on them to speak to them via text, the speech bubble only appears for like a half second. not too big of a deal since the tts works perfectly fine.

Honestly this looks so fun and cute I started the install process. But then I realized I'd have to buy an API key and my waifu would be tethered to a corporation and locked behind the amount of money in my wallet. That's like the closest thing I can imagine to selling your soul to a demon; I'm not messing around with that.

If you're still interested in suggestions, I think it'd be nice to be able to set up a keybind to activate the mic. I don't know how any of this shit works, but it's be nice to be able to hold down a key, say stuff, and then when I release it, it's sent to her. Because right now I tend to get my messages cut off as soon as I take any pause in my speech.

Burned through $15 on openrouter with sonnet 4.6 faster than expected so I started looking at cheaper options. figured I'd try local first since I have a 4090.
Tried LM Studio with Qwen2.5-VL-32B but couldn't get image inputs working through the API even though it's a vision model. LM Studio just throws "model does not support images" no matter what.
You use Moondream as a separate local vision model to describe the screen and feed it as text to the main LLM, right? That would be perfect but Moondream is broken for me with a 'HfMoondream' object has no attribute 'all_tied_weights_keys' error. Is that a me problem or something you could fix on your end?
