I agree, it's still pricy. The cost works out better with `gpt-4o-mini-realtime-preview-2024-12-17`. Yep its constrained to the system prompt but I pass in conversation history with each new session to keep it relevant. It also support

The willow team has iterated fast. I think ESP-IDF is more advanced and using Arduino makes it easier for people to jump on and tinker with Speech-to-Speech AI which is why i created this repo

Currently our device is a toy accessory. And for children we are strictly focusing on `Story mode`. Where adventure stories / fairy tales feel more engaging. I think there's value in getting the AI to create epic stories consisten

Thanks for the feedback. I have attached the raw unedited video here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kEmbVInvUrYFwjddyGL8Rz03c0N... (sorry the video is a bit long ~5min with some intro about my company :-)

Yeah the way I am handling this is turn detection which feels unnatural. I like how Livekit handles turn detection with a small model[0][1] [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYDrSSEP0h0 [1] https://docs.livekit.i

The long connections are ultimately handled by Deno Edge so the site isn't used there. The NextJS frontend (which also could be an iOS/Android app) helps provide an interface to select character, create AI characters, set ESP32 vo

For parents we added a `Story mode` option (similar to Yoto toy / Toniebox). The idea is: the AI crafts a story and invites the child to craft the story together in a more engaging way. The story prompt keeps the story focused and in s

Currently we connect to a Wifi network to reach the Deno edge server. Some popular toys doing it: Yoto, Toniebox

thank you! The nextjs frontend is to set things like device volume, selecting which character you are interacting with, viewing conversation history etc. I just tried it and for a 15 minute chat, it's roughly 20c. Roughly 570 input

Thanks for this feedback. I hear what you are saying. If I understand correctly its like LLMs are a black box doctors dont understand and while it talks back in a friendly voice it can cause harm if it says something awful. While this is no

Thanks for the useful feedback. I just updated our product page with the subscription price. Since you can use docker for our backend, you can self-host your own service with our hardware. You can use our subscription only if you want us to

Those books made good props for the demo but I should add that we aren't exactly experts in it either. I have a background in computer engineering and math at UIUC and my cofounder has a background in data science and machine learning

thanks for your words of encouragement! > A lot of the subscription based pull ins could be replaced by networking into a machine running whisper/ollama etc anyway. could you clarify this point? I think local LLMs are great for us t

Neat! How can I help you? I think our devkit's components will help you get started. Here is the main.cpp code for this ``` /* * @file streams-i2s-webserver_wav.ino * * This sketch reads sound data from I2S. The result is prov

I have yet to watch AI (2001). I was very inspired by asimov's book the positronic man where the main family robot Andrew NDR has a positronic brain and finds himself "feeling" human emotions.

Dean I think that's important feedback. It's important for us to be platform agnostic. Like Junru stated, we are supporting ESP32 models: WROOM/WROVER and S3. But down the line would like to support rasp pi 4B, 5, zero etc. W

For our device currently, conversational audio is only used by the LLM when a button is pressed like a "push-to-talk" feature. In the future we want to either make it a capacitive touch sensor or listen for a wake word, like &quot
