Zen Garden

Zen Garden is a simple AI personal assistant that I am building for fun, to simplify life and work.

It allows me to connect my email accounts, calendar for now and schedule meetings, check emails, send replies directly through the chat interface, without switching applications.

Features

• Bring your model and keys - Set API endpoint, Key and Model name and you can use any model you like.
• BM25 based search for tools, and via a small local model via llama.cpp when BM25 fails to return tools (optional)

Plan

• To add browsing support so I can also fetch content from websites to summarize and connect information
• To add skills support
• To add project structure - so I can switch between different projects
• Add to do list to track work
• Automation through CRON jobs

Supported Repositories

• For Email - https://github.com/nikolausm/imap-mcp-server
• For Calendar - Google Calendar MCP API

• I am using DeepSeekV4 mainly for backend rust code generation and also code documentation. I am reviewing the code before I add them to the codebase.
