One assistant, a deep bench of skills.
Monty isn't a single trick. It's a stack of capabilities that compound, each one making the others more useful. Here's the catalogue.
Communication
Always reachable over encrypted chat from any device, anywhere, a natural conversation, not a command line.
Send a voice note and it's transcribed locally, on our own hardware, no third-party speech service ever hears it.
Replies can come back as natural speech, handy for stories, summaries, and hands-free moments.
Knowledge & memory
A curated, file-based memory that persists across every session, Monty genuinely remembers context, preferences, and history.
A local knowledge base lets Monty recall the right detail by meaning, not just keywords, fast, private, and offline.
Watches the diary, flags what's coming, and triages the inbox so the important things surface and the noise doesn't.
Automation
Precise, time-based tasks, reminders, daily summaries, and routines that fire exactly when they should.
Regular background check-ins let Monty notice things and reach out first, without being constantly prompted.
A self-hosted notification channel pings the right device the moment something needs attention.
Searches the web, reads pages, and drives a real browser to gather what's needed and report back.
Spins up focused helpers to tackle bigger jobs in parallel, then folds the results back together.
Reaches into the house to manage lights, sensors, and routines, covered in full on the Monty Home page.
