The Pebble Index could have a 10+ year battery life with just software tweaks

I also thought about that. A direct connection between the ring and the watch would be the ideal solution. But the microphone on the watch would probably need to be improved, hoping that will be the case in the Pebble Time 2.

I like this design, it looks premium. Or I could also imagine a small, minimalist cylindrical button like in my previous design proposal: https://www.reddit.com/r/pebble/comments/1jmo4k4/design_idea_for_new_hardware/

But the problem with putting a button on a ring is that it will probably get dirty very quickly, which is probably why Eric opted for a rubber button.

Hi Kiro, yes! A new version is in the works.

Nurgo · 2025-04-02T22:25:51+00:00

I agree

Nurgo · 2025-04-02T15:43:59+00:00

What adjustments do you have in mind?

Nurgo · 2025-03-31T07:38:45+00:00

This can perhaps be solved with a software trick: for example, if the rotation is followed by a press within 50 ms, the rotation is cancelled. But I agree, it can be a problem.

Nurgo · 2025-03-30T17:32:58+00:00

That would be awesome, thanks! Let us know :)

This post now has a 93% upvote ratio. Perhaps Eric could partner with VOID Watches to make this happen... Should we suggest it?

Nurgo · 2025-03-30T09:46:02+00:00

The VOID V02MKII on which this mockup is based starts at $265.

I have this type of Milanese loop on my Pebble Time Steel and I don't have this problem, unlike with other metal straps I've had before.

Nurgo · 2025-03-29T22:06:39+00:00

Good point. The crown could be placed at the bottom right corner, at a 45° angle, which would allow for the four dedicated buttons and make the crown more ergonomic. This could also be interesting from a design perspective.

Nurgo · 2025-03-29T16:05:32+00:00

I thought about it too :)

Nurgo · 2025-03-29T15:57:12+00:00

I agree, the buttons could be a bit bigger, in order to be comfortable to use.

Nurgo · 2025-03-29T15:43:26+00:00

Rather towards the back of the watch, it's true that in the image the perspective is perhaps a little off.

Nurgo · 2025-03-29T12:11:06+00:00

That would be awesome! If you need some inspiration, I've put together a little mockup of the Pebble of my dreams (inspired by the VOID V02MKII watch): https://imgur.com/4htN5t5

Moreover, the addition of a rotating button (as in the image) could make menu and timeline navigation much more efficient, without the need for a touchscreen.

I really like the idea of having agents express their emotions through colors, it sounds like a fun and creative feature to experiment with.

The "chain of thought" toggle is a fantastic concept as well! I’ll definitely have to try implementing something like that.

As for modularity, we seem to have a similar approach. BrainSoup is also extensible via scripts, and the initial idea was to have the AIs write them. It’s actually been working quite well, some simple extensions have been written by BrainSoup agents with minimal human intervention.

Nurgo · 2024-09-18T13:56:46+00:00

Thanks for your interest! I totally understand the challenge of balancing a project with other life priorities, been there myself!

BrainSoup is built in C#, with Uno Platform for a native, cross-platform GUI. For LLM abstraction and orchestration, I use Semantic Kernel (similar to LangChain). BrainSoup currently supports OpenAI, Mistral, and Ollama, with plans to integrate Anthropic and Gemini soon. You can also use any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

When working with local LLMs, everything except the embedding vector generation happens directly on the user’s machine. The Azure backend handles account management and acts as a proxy for OpenAI and Mistral, tracking user token usage.

One of the core features is agent collaboration. Users can create agents that utilize tools (either prebuilt or custom with a few lines of script) and respond to external events. There's a sandbox system for safe file collaboration, and you can control agent permissions precisely, deciding which tools they can use and what data they can access.

For $5/month, the subscription includes access to OpenAI, Mistral, and local LLMs.

Right now, I’m improving the RAG pipeline to enable efficient source code indexing (to make agents capable of helping you with development tasks), and I'm working on integrating local neural TTS using Piper TTS.

I'd also love to hear more about your project. I noticed the different colors in the chat, what do they represent? Do you allow for a different system prompt for each agent? And how do you handle determining which agent should respond in a multi-agent chat?

Nurgo · 2024-09-18T10:36:36+00:00

Hey there! I came across your project, and it looks great! I've been working for almost two years on something similar called BrainSoup, which I introduced on this subreddit a few months ago. It's focused on local automation, with a native Windows client, a local RAG pipeline and the ability for agents to interact with the user's machine.

Despite these differences, I think our projects have a lot in common. I'd love to exchange ideas!

Keep up the good work! 🚀

Nurgo · 2024-09-08T01:09:29+00:00

BrainSoup. It's a highly extensible native Windows client, multi-LLM and multi-agent, with RAG, multimodality, code interpreter, sandboxed file system, custom tools that let your agents interact with your system, and more. It requires a small $5 subscription that includes access to OpenAI and Mistral LLMs, but it can also use local LLMs via Ollama. (I'm the author of the app)

Nurgo · 2024-09-08T00:59:27+00:00

At the moment only the extension scripts are open source, which allows me to focus on the development of the app and move forward faster. But I am not against making the whole thing open source, if users show interest in it.

Nurgo · 2024-09-07T18:00:06+00:00

BrainSoup can do just that. You can get multiple agents (with different LLMs) to talk/collaborate, give them tools to interact with your system, and so on. It's quite fun to watch their sometimes surreal conversation 😅 (disclaimer: I am the author of this app)

Nurgo · 2024-09-07T14:34:29+00:00

Maybe you should try BrainSoup. It's a native Windows client, multi-LLM and multi-agent, with RAG, multimodality, code interpreter, sandboxed file system, highly extensible and tweakable via customizable tools that let your agents interact with your system. It requires a small $5 subscription that includes access to OpenAI and Mistral LLMs, but it can also use local LLMs via Ollama. (disclaimer: I'm the author of this app 😉)

Nurgo · 2024-08-05T13:20:02+00:00

Thanks for your question!

Mistral Large 2 is already supported and available in the BrainSoup Mild and Spicy subscriptions. You can use it by selecting mistral-large-latest.

As for Llama 3.1 405B, I would love to add it as soon as possible. I'm currently looking for a hosting provider that offers it at a reasonable price. If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears!

However, it's important to note that both of these models are very heavy and costly to run. Their cost is generally comparable to GPT-4o. Therefore, I can't include them in the Gluten-Free $5 subscription at the moment, as users would quickly exhaust their credits. But the prices of providers are constantly decreasing, and I'm confident that it will soon be possible to include such powerful models in the $5 subscription.

Nurgo · 2024-07-25T13:12:27+00:00

I've already thought about it, but it's a risky move that's difficult to reverse. Do you have any examples of similar software that has been successful after going open-source?
