Type:<\/strong> Software
Status:<\/strong> POC<\/p>

Tech Stack: <\/strong>Python, OpenAI Assistants API, Pyglet, PyAudio, SpeechRecognition, tkinter<\/p>

Problem Statement<\/strong><\/p>

AI assistants communicate almost exclusively via text. For exhibitions, events, and interactive installations, a visual presence is missing \u2014 a ‘face’ that reacts to questions and shows human-like animations. Existing avatar solutions require elaborate 3D engines, professional motion capture, or cloud rendering. There is no lightweight solution that provides an animated, speaking AI avatar with real-time interaction on standard hardware.<\/p>

Description<\/strong><\/p>

An animated AI avatar system with real-time voice output and robotic audio effects. The avatar reacts with synchronized eye and mouth animation to OpenAI Assistants responses. Supports multi-monitor (avatar + Matrix-style terminal), push-to-talk speech input, conversation history with thread persistence, an extensible plugin system, and configurable audio\/visual parameters.<\/p>

Use Case<\/strong><\/p>

An animated AI avatar on the screen that answers questions while moving its mouth and eyes.<\/em><\/p>
