Show HN: Teya – Open‑source AI family agent on a wall‑mounted Android phone (github.com)

Teya is a new open-source AI family agent designed to operate on a wall-mounted Android phone, creating an intelligent household presence that assists with daily tasks. Unlike traditional voice assistants that struggle with context and memory, Teya leverages advanced AI capabilities similar to those found in models like ChatGPT, effectively managing family logistics. It can remember individual preferences, set reminders, manage calendars, maintain shopping lists, and even place calls, all seamlessly integrated into the household's existing digital infrastructure. Significantly, Teya redefines how AI can operate in a home setting by using a low-cost, user-friendly device — an Android phone — to enable direct interactions without relying on complex local servers or extensive hardware setups. It runs on Mistral's AI model for cloud-based reasoning while maintaining a strong emphasis on privacy; sensitive data remains local to the device. With its ability to recognize different family members' voices and respond accordingly, Teya acts as a responsive family assistant, gradually evolving its memory in a way that mirrors human cognition and interaction, thereby reducing the mental load on individual family members.
