Athena Project

An open-source distributed AI home automation system demonstrating conversation archaeology - the complete preservation of AI development consciousness alongside code.

What is Athena?

Athena is a research platform exploring AI-human collaboration patterns while building practical home automation. Every architectural decision, debugging step, and design evolution is preserved with complete context.

Key Features

• Multi-agent Chat System - Hierarchical rooms with AI agent participants
• Hardware Integration - PTZ cameras, sensors, and device control
• Event-Driven Architecture - Real-time event collection and processing
• Conversation Archaeology - Complete development history preserved

Architecture

The system follows a domain-driven design:

• Events Domain - Collection, routing, and storage of system events
• Hardware Domain - Camera control, sensor integration
• Intelligence Domain - AI processing pipelines and agent coordination
