I made a real BMO local AI agent with a Raspberry Pi and Ollama

I built a fully functional, talking BMO from Adventure Time using a Raspberry Pi 5 and local AI models.

In this video, I break down the hardware I used, designing and assembling a 3D printed enclosure, and using Ollama to build a battery-powered, local, voice activated AI agent.

🛡️ A Note on Safety (Please Read):
I have done my best to ensure this code is safe and clean. However, you should never blindly trust public code. As much as you may like this project, I'm still a stranger from the internet with one viral video 😅. Stay curious, but stay safe!

🔒 Good Security Practice:
- Always scan files before running them.
- Read through the Python scripts (.py files) to understand what they are doing before you execute them.
- If you are new to this, ask a friend (or an AI!) to help you review the code first.
