This project provides a sample AI assistant that leverages OpenAI and Google APIs for voice interaction. It is designed for users who want to experiment with building their own voice-controlled applications using readily available cloud services.

How It Works

The assistant likely processes user voice input, sends it to a speech-to-text service (presumably Google), then uses the transcribed text with an OpenAI language model for response generation. The model's output is then converted back to speech (likely via a text-to-speech service) and played to the user.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: python3 assistant.py
• Prerequisites: OPENAI_API_KEY, GOOGLE_API_KEY (set as environment variables or in a .env file), portaudio (for Apple Silicon).
• Dependencies: Python 3, requirements.txt (includes openai, google-cloud-speech, etc.).

Highlighted Details

• Integrates OpenAI for natural language understanding and response generation.
• Utilizes Google Cloud for speech-to-text capabilities.
• Requires API keys for both OpenAI and Google services.

Limitations & Caveats

This is a sample project and may not be production-ready. It relies on external, potentially costly, API services. No information is provided regarding error handling, scalability, or advanced features.
