Miaw AI Secretary goes open source

Miaw AI Secretary is a Windows-first Electron recreation of the Miaw floating chat app, built to stay on screen with a tray icon and global shortcut. The repo ships Tauri-compatible shims, chat and history command surfaces, and a LiteLLM-friendly model setup for local or remote endpoints.

// ANALYSIS

This looks more like a pragmatic desktop reimplementation than a polished consumer launch, but that is exactly what makes it interesting: it lowers the barrier to forking and experimenting with an always-available AI sidecar.

  • The Electron shell plus `Ctrl+Shift+Space` shortcut makes the assistant feel like a lightweight overlay instead of a full app switch
  • Compatibility shims for Tauri APIs suggest the author is preserving an existing UI surface rather than rewriting the product from scratch
  • The default LiteLLM-compatible OpenAI endpoint makes it easy to point at local models or self-hosted backends
  • Search is still stubbed and some macOS-specific flows fall back to safe defaults, so this is more foundation than finished secretarial workflow
  • As an open-source desktop assistant, it fits the broader trend toward customizable AI companions, but it is not yet a standout devtool
