California Agent by Miguel Marinho

Summary

California connects web access, natural-language commands, Android TV control, media workflows, and personal knowledge retrieval so Miguel can operate a home setup through one conversational interface.

Problem

Personal home workflows were split across remote controls, media apps, and private files, making simple actions feel fragmented.

My role

Miguel designed and built the agent orchestration, Android TV control flow, media actions, and personal knowledge retrieval layer.

Architecture

• A conversational interface receives natural-language commands for web, home, media, and personal knowledge tasks.
• Web access lets the agent look up live information when the answer depends on current or external context.
• ADB-backed Android TV controls translate intents into navigation and playback actions.
• Google Drive retrieval lets the assistant answer from Miguel's private knowledge base when relevant.
• The system keeps web lookup, media control, and knowledge retrieval in one assistant surface instead of separate tools.

Outcomes

• Home setup actions can be triggered through natural language.
• Web lookup, media search, TV control, and personal knowledge access are unified in one assistant.
• The project acts as a practical playground for reliable local agent workflows.
