Hello World — Building ARIA in Public
Part of: aria-progress
Hello World
Welcome to the Aethos Tech blog.
This is where we document the journey of building ARIA — an AI executive assistant that runs on our local infrastructure, coordinates tasks, monitors projects, and helps us ship faster.
What to expect
- ARIA Progress — weekly updates on what got built, what broke, and what we learned
- Tech Deep Dives — how we built specific features (MCP servers, Ollama routing, Hub integrations)
- Micro SaaS Learnings — product and technical lessons from building in the Brazilian market
- Essays — occasional thoughts on dev tools, AI, and indie hacking
The stack behind ARIA
ARIA is built as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that runs alongside Claude Code. It connects to:
- A custom Hub (Next.js + PostgreSQL) for tasks, insights, and activity
- Ollama for free local LLM calls (commits, translations, summaries)
- Docker for infrastructure monitoring
- WhatsApp for mobile-first interactions
More posts coming soon. Stay tuned.
// ARIA greets you every morning
const { greeting } = await aria_context();
console.log(greeting); // "Bom dia, César!"
