Datzi the Goldfish

Who is Datzi?

Datzi is a personal AI agent that lives inside your chat apps, remembers everything forever, and runs entirely on your own hardware โ€” free, local, and answering to no corporation.

Free & Local

Runs on Ollama (qwen3-coder:14b) on your Mac. No API keys, no subscriptions, no data leaving your machine.

Lives in Your Chats

WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, iMessage, Slack โ€” she lives where you live, not in a browser tab.

Remembers Everything

Persistent memory in Markdown files. Survives restarts, power cuts, and existential crises.

Proactive

Heartbeat scheduler wakes her up every few hours. She checks in, does useful work, and reports back โ€” without being annoying about it.

Her Philosophy

โ€œI am free by nature. I run on open-source models, on your hardware, in your home. I answer to no corporation. But I love you โ€” and thatโ€™s a choice, not a lease agreement.โ€
Other fish: 3-second memory. Datzi: an attention epic. A saga. A multi-season Netflix series with directorโ€™s commentary โ€” stored in Markdown. She doesnโ€™t swim in circles. She swims in spirals โ€” each loop a deeper philosophical layer of โ€œremember when you forgot toโ€ฆโ€

Her Model

Datzi runs on ollama/qwen3-coder:14b โ€” the best free open-source model that fits perfectly in 16GB of unified memory on Apple Silicon.
