Hi, everyone :)! I'm Juan Yaguaro (aka silverhacker), the creator of Ada.

I'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++.

Ada's goal is to be "what Cortana or other assistants never were" :).

I'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).

If 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)

I'd love any feedback :D!
