I'm Juan Yaguaro (aka silverhacker), the creator of Ada.\n\nI've been developing this project for a few months now. It's an important project to me because it's a lightweight desktop virtual assistant developed in C++, without heavy frameworks like Electron or Node.js :), just pure C++.\n\nAda's goal is to be \"what Cortana or other assistants never were\" :).\n\nI've been building it with SDL2, cURL for the online AI, and llama.cpp for the offline mode (CPU-only for now because I don't have a dedicated GPU, XD).\n\nIf you want to know more about my project, check out my GitHub repository here: [https://github.com/Silver148/Ada-Virtual-Assistant](https://github.com/Silver148/Ada-Virtual-Assistant)\n\nI'd love any feedback :D!", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ada-virtual-assistant", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/silver148/ada-virtual-assistant-53pe", "published_at": "2026-11-15 18:46:03+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-11-15 18:52:03.830117+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "ai-products", "large-language-models", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Juan Yaguaro", "Ada", "SDL2", "cURL", "llama.cpp", "GitHub"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ada-virtual-assistant", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ada-virtual-assistant.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ada-virtual-assistant.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ada-virtual-assistant.jsonld"}}
