I built GHOST — an AI agent that actually fixes your slow laptop using Gemma 4 locally
GHOST is an AI agent designed to optimize laptop performance by automatically fixing slowdowns. It operates locally, monitoring system processes in real time and executing fixes without user intervention. The tool also predicts potential slowdowns and provides weekly performance summaries to users.
- ▪GHOST runs a continuous loop of sensing, thinking, acting, verifying, and rolling back actions to optimize performance.
- ▪It can predict slowdowns based on learned patterns and warns users 10-15 minutes in advance.
- ▪The AI agent builds a behavioral fingerprint of the machine over time, identifying peak usage hours and primary performance offenders.
