ALMA PROJECT TEAM

Alma is an open-source AI team that runs on your own computer, in two parts. Alma for Business is for small companies: you pick a template (e.g. an online store) and Alma builds a team of agents with an org chart: director, catalog, marketing, support. Each agent runs on its own model. You give the director a goal, tasks move across a board on their own, agents hold meetings and leave minutes in plain files, track budgets, and ask for your approval before anything big. Alma for You is a private vault of plain Markdown notes: you ask by voice or chat and it answers citing the source note, sets reminders that reach your phone on Telegram, and nothing leaves your computer unless you say so. It also connects to your smart home through Home Assistant. The problem: in Argentina alone ~500k small businesses are run by one person who is also the accountant, marketer and HR, and most people's knowledge is scattered across chats and apps while AI assistants forget everything and keep data in someone else's cloud. Alma gives them a whole AI team at cents a day, with data in files they own.] A note on scope. Alma's core (chat, notes and agents) existed before this hackathon, and that earlier code could not be submitted as it was. During the hackathon we did four things: Rebuilt it on Meta's Muse models. Muse Spark, Muse Voice Transcribe and Muse Image now run every agent. Built Alma Home from scratch. It draws a floor plan of your house, puts every device on it and controls it through Home Assistant, by chat, voice or Telegram. Built Alma for Business properly. It has company templates, an org chart of agents each with its own model, a task board that agents work through on their own, meetings with minutes saved in plain files, per-company budgets with a running cost counter, and approval gates before any big decision. Made the whole app multilingual (English and Spanish). These changes touch the entire application, so we had no choice but to include the full app in the repository, not only the new pieces.
