About this automation

Omni indexes text, PDF, image, audio, and video files locally using SOTA omni embedding model. Exposes HTTP server for agents like OpenClaw and Hermes to query. Search is near-instant; indexing is slower (10K-300 tps depending on file type).

How to implement

1

Build SOTA omni embedding model for multimodal content

2

Implement Swift-native UI with mlx-swift-transformer core

3

Create indexing pipeline for text, PDF, image, audio, video

4

Expose HTTP server for agent queries

5

Optimize for recall (agent refines results)

6

Test on various Mac hardware (M3 Pro, M3 Ultra, M4 Pro)
