ALX‑ZIA — Hardware‑First AI Assistant (Archived)
ALX‑ZIA was an experimental hardware‑first evolution of the ZIA prototype, exploring local inference, modular nodes, and dedicated device workflows. The software stack reached a functional prototype, but the project was archived due to hardware manufacturing costs.
Key Features
Hardware‑Anchored Design
Built around dedicated devices for low‑latency, private local inference.
Modular Node System
Early experiments with plug‑and‑play modules for sensors and AI pipelines.
ZIA Compatibility Layer
Bridged concepts from the original ZIA prototype into a hardware context.
Engineering Notes
ALX‑ZIA validated a hardware‑first approach to modular AI systems. While the software prototype is functional, the project was archived due to the cost of hardware prototyping and manufacturing. The concepts may be revisited in a simpler, Docker‑friendly form in the future.
