AI Conversation Speaker (aka Friendbot!)

This project lets you have a real-time conversation with an AI! It uses Azure Cognitive Services for text-to-speech and speech-to-text and OpenAI's amazing GPT-3 large language model for the AI models. Have fun!

Great to see your content-you're really doing an amazing job! 🥰 I’m a video editor, and I noticed the editing aspect of your videos. Making your videos more visually appealing can significantly boost engagement and potentially increase your revenue and channel growth by 5x. I also specialize in thumbnail design, video SEO, and overall video editing

You've made a George Santos bot. It said it also loves hiking and making things, lol. I wonder what it would have said if you asked it, "what things have you made"?

[@XiangYu94]

Hey man do you know if this could work with the Intel Compute stick PC? I want to create the lightest possible build to be charged via external battery, basically imma strap a setup onto my running harness as an “AI running coach” that I trained with the pre uploaded marathon route, elevation, and maybe even my current heart rate.

[@emanuelcalderon]

How did you make it listen? Do you have the programing?Is it possible to get that?

[@CB-ht9ow]

Voice to text Text gets processed

[@franklee8004]

It’s interesting. I like it

[@ruffinruffin989]

Are you still working on this project? I would love to continue on or contribute where I can.

[@makersmicrosoft902]

The project is open source and we love and welcome contributions! Link here: aka.ms/friendbot

I love it. I'm trying to build an system in which I have a AI Conversation Robot that will speak to humans and a web server. I'm facing troubles installing the Python SDK on my Raspberry Pi 2, I can see online that ARM architectures are not supported. Have you come across the same issue? If so what do you suggest I do?

[@davidmays2660]

^ This seems like a pretty great prompt for ChatGPT honestly. Might be able to help you faster than a human KZbinr.

[@makersmicrosoft902]

We used the Speech C# SDK for this project, but I believe the Python SDK should work on Linux OS: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/speech-sdk

[@drevil1168]

Would it fit on a rpi zero ?

[@morraza3307]

When I try to run this program, I get the error message of "info: Speech recognizer session canceled." Is there a way around this? Thanks!

[@makersmicrosoft902]

This error is typically caused by an issue w/ the Azure Cognitive Services setup. I'd suggest double checking that your key and endpoint are correctly set in the code. Hope that helps!

Hi Ardian(hope I got your name spelling right), great vid and I have 2 questions for you: 1) Can I use a Raspeberry Pi 3 as well? 2) have you ever tested if your AI can translate sentences like from English into Spanish?

[@davidhenrydan]

I think you could use a Raspberry Pi 3, but it will be slower. As for the other question if you use a text to speach in spanish then yea, cuz if you've tested Chat GPT you can talk you it in any language, so I think this would be the same ;)

[@makersmicrosoft902]

Thank you! 1) A Raspberry Pi 3 may be slower but it should work. 2) Yes! ChatGPT + Azure Cog Services can translate between languages (Azure Cog Services supports an incredible number of languages). You can also pick different voices, e.g. Argentinian, Mexican, Spanish, etc. You can see all the supported voices here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/language-support?tabs=tts#tabpanel_1_tts If you need help on where to change the voice, check out this guide: www.hackster.io/484625/ai-conversation-speaker-aka-friend-bot-part-1-conversation-3adca1

[@RUDAW12]

Please upload tutorial video

[@charleschen1342]

I am trying with the lastest version, but it didn't work, is it because of my network? Here is the feedback from the system. [08:28:49] info: Listening... [08:28:56] info: Recognized: What's your name? [08:29:23] erro: OpenAI returned an error. UnknownError: UnknownError: Something went wrong: The SSL connection could not be established, see inner exception. [08:29:23] info: Speaking (none): OpenAI returned an error. Please try again.

[@charleschen1342]

It's caused by bad VPN. It worked on Windows system with a good VPN.

[@mandela3664]

Thanks

[@quaidc2732]

Can you make a video where you just explain how you make it it's a really confusing on the website Also do you think you could help me figure out how to give the ai fake memories similar to someone who did a smart microwave ai the KZbin channel is called Lucas builds the future and he explains nothing. :-):-):-)

[@aboudezoa]

I wish this was built in python 😢

[@344shreyashkadam2]

Sir please tell components list

[@makersmicrosoft902]

[@kingguy5897]

Ai friendbot is lying. Every sentece every word is a lie. What’s the point? Why can’t it be honest?

[@makersmicrosoft902]

Just like a work of fiction, we view it as imaginative and creative and fun!

[@luisflavioterra9798]

For Learning English is good

[@quaidc2732]

This one KZbinr who made a sentient microwave using this exact AI system but instead it told the truth because he gave it fake memories of his old childhood imaginary friend the main problem with him though is that it tried to kill him.:-) :-) :-)

[@bethshebaovercame5587]

This is so very awesome but I cant get .NET 6 Onto my raspberry pi. Should i have used Ubuntu rather than rasbian? Heard .net 6 sdk not compatible with 32 rasberry.

[@jnkmal9519]

Is raspberry 4 necessary? Could a zero W be able to pull this off? I imagine most of the processing happens remotely.

[@jnkmal9519]

Also, what's up with the Jeff Goldblum pillow?
