Personal computing 2.0
Explore Rho, an AI-managed runtime that builds and reshapes apps on the fly. Learn how this self-editing software creates personalized interfaces and extends functionality through open-source repositories.
Rho is a minimal from scratch implementation of OpenClaw that can build UI on the fly.
In addition to being a personal assistant, it is an ai-managed personal runtime where your agent can build and reshape small apps around your own data. You can ask your computer for the exact interface you want to interact with it.
Rho is inspired by the Pi coding agent and indeed builds on top of it. As with Pi, it is open-source and intentionally minimal but built for extensibility.
For the demo, I’ll work through a basic example of building a simple To-Do app from within the Rho mobile app. Rho comes with an in-built chat (in addition to the standard WhatsApp, Telegram etc channels) where you can ask it to edit itself.
Next, I’ll also show how you can share you apps as simple pi-extension like open source repos. You can point your rho agent to a existing extension on GitHub and ask it to install it for you.
Rho manages SQLite-Prisma databases and runtime filesystems for extensible agent applications.
- OpenAIOpenAI is an AI research and deployment company: We build safe artificial general intelligence (AGI) to benefit all of humanity.OpenAI is a premier AI research and deployment company, focused on developing safe Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) for global benefit. The organization operates under a unique structure: a non-profit Foundation governs a for-profit Group, which functions as a public benefit corporation. Its technology portfolio includes industry-defining models like the GPT series (e.g., GPT-4o, GPT-5.1), the conversational platform ChatGPT, and the text-to-video model Sora. These tools drive innovation across multiple sectors, providing powerful, accessible AI capabilities for developers, businesses, and consumers worldwide.
- SwiftUISwiftUI is Apple’s declarative framework for building native user interfaces across all Apple platforms with a single, unified codebase.This is Apple’s modern UI toolkit, leveraging the power of Swift to deliver a declarative syntax: you state what your UI should do, not how. It’s a unified system, meaning you write one set of code to deploy on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS (plus visionOS). Development is streamlined via deep integration with Xcode, offering features like real-time previews and automatic synchronization between the UI and app state. For existing projects, SwiftUI offers seamless interoperability with older frameworks like UIKit and AppKit, enabling incremental adoption without a full rewrite.
- HonoHono is an ultrafast, lightweight web framework: it’s built on Web Standards and runs consistently across all major JavaScript runtimes, including Cloudflare Workers, Deno, and Node.js.Hono (meaning 'flame' in Japanese) is a high-performance web framework engineered for the edge: it delivers speed and portability without compromise. The core strength is its multi-runtime support, allowing the exact same codebase to deploy on Cloudflare Workers, Bun, Deno, AWS Lambda, or Node.js. It remains incredibly lightweight, with the `hono/tiny` preset coming in under 14kB, and utilizes a fast `RegExpRouter` for superior performance. Hono prioritizes developer experience (DX) with clean APIs, comprehensive middleware for tasks like JWT and CORS, and first-class TypeScript support right out of the box.
- ReactReact is an open-source JavaScript library for building dynamic user interfaces (UIs).React is a component-based JavaScript library, developed by Meta (Facebook), engineered for building fast, declarative UIs. It mandates a one-way data flow and utilizes a Virtual DOM mechanism to ensure efficient, predictable updates to the user interface. Developers construct complex UIs by composing small, encapsulated components; this architecture promotes code reusability and simplifies state management across large applications. The library employs JSX (a syntax extension) to integrate HTML-like markup directly within JavaScript logic, supporting development for both web (React DOM) and native mobile platforms (React Native).
- piPi is a personal AI designed for supportive, empathetic, and fluid conversation powered by the Inflection-2.5 LLM.Built by Inflection AI, Pi (Personal Intelligence) prioritizes emotional intelligence and natural dialogue over raw task execution. It leverages the Inflection-2.5 model to achieve near-GPT-4 performance levels while maintaining a distinct, friendly persona across platforms like WhatsApp, SMS, and iOS. By focusing on high-EQ interactions and real-time web browsing, Pi serves as a digital confidant that remembers context to provide personalized, non-judgmental advice.
