Overview
An ESP32 voice device for chatting with several custom AI 'friends', each with its own personality and voice. Call a friend by name and that bot answers.
How it works
Push-to-talk audio (or, since September 2026, hands-free OpenAI Realtime voice-to-voice) goes to ElevenLabs speech-to-text, a Groq LLM with chat history, and OpenAI TTS. It supports follow-up questions, live web search and local keyword actions. It works in many languages without code changes.
