This project provides an ESP32-based device for voice chat with large language models (LLMs). It targets hobbyists and developers interested in creating offline, voice-activated AI assistants or communication devices. The primary benefit is enabling LLM interaction through a dedicated, low-power hardware platform.

How It Works

The system leverages an ESP32 microcontroller to capture audio, process it locally for wake-word detection, and then stream audio to a connected LLM inference service. The LLM's response is received, converted to speech, and played back through the device. This approach allows for a self-contained, potentially offline voice interaction system.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install: Requires flashing the ESP32 firmware.
• Prerequisites: ESP32 development board, microphone, speaker, Wi-Fi connectivity for LLM access.

Licensing & Compatibility

• No license information is provided in the README.

Limitations & Caveats

The project appears to be a personal demonstration with limited documentation and no explicit licensing, which may pose challenges for commercial use or integration into larger projects. The reliance on external LLM services implies a need for internet connectivity and potential costs.
