One builder. Three tools that just work. All MIT-licensed.
PothiPath is a small studio of AI utilities built and shipped by a single person — Kamesh Vishwakarma. Every tool here is open source, every tool solves a problem I hit while building, and every tool is MIT so you can fork it, ship it, or sell it without asking.
This repository is the studio hub: brand, vision, documentation, and shared infrastructure. Each tool lives in its own repository (links below) so you can use one without dragging the others along.
| Tool | What it does | Status | Repo |
|---|---|---|---|
| PluginRAG | Drop-in retrieval-augmented generation for any plugin. Local-first, pluggable vector backends, plain-text pipelines. | v0.x — in development | coming soon |
| your_audio | Multi-voice audio generation with transcript-based ducking, automatic device detection, and a clean CLI. | v0.2 — working | coming soon |
| your_presentation | Scroll-driven HTML presentations with editorial typography, GSAP motion, and a PptxGenJS export path. | v0.3 — working | coming soon |
| PothiChat | Desktop "super-harness" shell. Local-first AI chat that orchestrates the tools above through a plug-and-play provider model. | v0.1 — working | coming soon |
The individual tool repositories will be linked here as they go live. The PothiPath studio is in active pre-launch — 2026.
Most "AI tools" are SaaS products with locked-down models, monthly fees, and your data leaving your machine. PothiPath is the opposite:
- MIT-licensed — fork it, sell it, ship it in a commercial product, no strings attached.
- Local-first where it makes sense — your conversations, your audio, your presentations stay on your machine unless you choose otherwise.
- One builder — every commit is mine, every decision is documented in the commit history, every issue gets a real reply (eventually).
- Honest scope — small, sharp tools that do one thing well. Not an "all-in-one platform." Not "AGI in 30 days."
Everything here is early and evolving. APIs will change, documentation will lag behind code, things will break. If you're trying PothiPath tools in production, pin to a tag and read the release notes.
The studio is in active pre-launch. The 5-week launch plan is tracked in docs/launch-plan.md.
The PothiPath studio hub itself has no runtime — it's a documentation and brand home. To use the tools, clone their individual repositories (linked above) once they go live.
To browse the studio:
git clone https://github.com/kameshji/PothiPath.git

This is a solo project, but issues, discussions, and pull requests are welcome. Read CONTRIBUTING.md before opening a PR. For anything security-related, follow SECURITY.md — do not file public issues for security bugs.
Response time is "when I can" — I have a day job, a launch to ship, and a 90-day notice period. Be patient, be kind, be specific.
MIT — see LICENSE. You can use this in commercial products, fork it, repackage it, sell it. Attribution appreciated, not required.
