🧭 Odel Development Roadmap
This page tracks the ongoing chaos and progress of Odel — a modular AI platform built (mostly) by one over-caffeinated human.
It’s both a personal dev log and a public roadmap, so you’ll find equal parts actual planning and occasional rambling.
🌌 Overview
Odel is being built in layers — starting from a simple chat interface, evolving into a modular ecosystem, and eventually becoming a full-fledged marketplace and developer platform.
🧩 Phase 1 — Core Chat and Architecture (✅ Complete)
Phase one was all about getting something alive. The goal was to make the chat feel smooth, reactive, and actually testable — since the chat itself is my main sandbox for every other feature.
API
- LLM message generation
- Streaming text
- Function calling framework
- Conversation management
- Resume conversations
- Conversation CRUD
- Application-level authentication
UI
- Main chat functionality
- Side menu
- Conversation management
- Account placeholder
- Message toolbelts
- Display function calls in chat
⚙️ Phase 2 — Modules and Documentation (🚧 In Progress)
Because nothing says “scalable architecture” like rewriting half your backend for modularity.
Chatbot-Side Work
The chatbot gets the upgrade first, since it’s my primary test harness.
- V8 code isolation for function calling
- RPC system for module calls
- Routers for module types
- Modules support
- Default (in-process) modules
- Official (standard worker) modules
- User (platform worker) modules
- External (separately hosted MCP) modules
- Endpoints for conversation-level module configuration
- Module management UI
- Endpoints for profile-level module configuration
- Profile quick-edit UI
Documentation (this very thing)
Trying to stay ahead of the “what does this do again?” moments.
- Docusaurus automatic documentation site
- Roadmap (you're looking at it!)
- Automatic changelog based on commit Changelog
- Start writing actual docs
Modules Themselves
Because what’s the point of a modular system if it doesn’t actually do anything?
🧠 Default Modules
Core functionality, but modular — if you don’t like something, turn it off and pretend it was never there.
- Tagger – Auto-generate names and tags for conversations
- Trace – Show inline traces of background module executions
- Dynamic Cards – Fancy inline cards for structured LLM output
- Memory – User-specific RAG-style memory, the bot learns as you chat
🧰 Official Modules (a.k.a. "made by me")
- Odel Mail - Bot can send emails to you (or anyone else)
- Notes – Persistent knowledge database for the LLM
- Calculator – Wolfram-ish computational queries
- SSB – Query Norway’s official statistical data (because why not)
🧾 Phase 2.5 — Accounts and Marketing (📅 Upcoming)
Some of the boring but necessary parts.
(Yes, I will eventually need a landing page that doesn’t look like it was made in Notepad.)
- Landing Page
- Account Management Page
- About / Contact page
- SEO / Marketing glue
🛍️ Phase 3 — Marketplace
Time for the part that hopefully pays for coffee.
- Module discovery interface
- Recommendation engine
- Usage tracking and billing
- Metrics and analytics
📊 Phase 4 — Developer Platform & Dashboard
This is the “I’ll figure it out when I get there” phase.
Probably involves dashboards, graphs, and other things that make me feel productive.
- Developer analytics
- Custom dashboards for module creators
- Centralized worker / key management
🧠 Notes to Self
- The architecture will likely change three more times before v1.
- Don’t build another “clever abstraction” unless it saves more time than it takes.
- Remember: if it works, it ships.
“This roadmap is subject to change at any moment, especially after too much coffee or a particularly good shower thought.”
