SmartiAI

Building a Windows Release

The source tree stays clean in Git. Build artifacts and downloaded runtimes are ignored; only the repeatable release recipe is tracked.

.\scripts\build_release.ps1 -Version 0.69.0

The build creates a PyInstaller SmartiAI.exe with the assets\smarti.ico application icon, copies the required assets, and adds private runtimes under runtime\python and runtime\node. Packaged Smarti uses those private runtimes for custom Python tools, MCP packages, and Skill requirement installs. Source runs continue to use Python and Node from the developer machine. The release script also verifies that APP_VERSION matches the requested release version, runs pip check for the build environment and private Python runtime, verifies the expected release layout, and checks installer path lengths before packaging.

Outputs are written to release\: a portable ZIP is always created, and a setup EXE is created when Inno Setup 6 is installed. The installer is per-user by default (%LOCALAPPDATA%\SmartiAI) so Smarti can keep installing dynamic tools without administrator rights. Existing installs may keep using their previous app directory during silent upgrades.

Example Use Cases

• "Find the latest invoice PDF in Downloads, summarize it, and save the summary as a text file."
• "Search this project for where browser automation is implemented."
• "Open Chrome, go to a site, fill a form, and tell me what happened."
• "Check my inbox for unread messages from a client and draft a reply."
• "Run the project tests and summarize any failures."
• "Take a screenshot and explain what is visible on the screen."
• "Remind me in 30 minutes to continue this task."
• "Create a reusable Python tool for processing this type of file."
• "Search the web for current information, then open the most relevant result."
• "Remember that I prefer concise Hebrew answers for this project."

Quick Start

Requirements: Windows, Python 3.10 or newer, and Git if you want to use Git tools.

python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt
python smarti_core.pyw

To run without a console window, open smarti_core.pyw directly from Windows or use:

pythonw smarti_core.pyw

Optional Capabilities

• Browser automation requires Google Chrome.
• MCP support requires Node.js and npx only when running from source. Packaged releases include a private Node.js runtime.
• Voice input requires a working microphone, SpeechRecognition, keyboard, and PyAudio.
• OCR requires pytesseract, Pillow, and the Tesseract OCR engine installed on the system and available in PATH.
• Usage-cost estimates are more useful when litellm is installed.
