ChatGPT + Raspberry Pi - A ChatGPT powered Raspberry Pi chatbot

[@geoffreygeo6385]

I tried to install all the libraries. Only with PyAudio did this go wrong. Eventually, I got it to work. By the following commands: sudo apt install libasound-dev portaudio19-dev libportaudio2 libportaudiocpp0 After that sudo apt install ffmpeg and than run python3 -m pip install pyaudio Everything works great

[@alexpapou4806]

Just came across, a totally amazing project. Perhaps the ultimate stage of this would be a bot that activates only on a certain voice command so what you chat in a room does not get sent to gpt unless you ask for this, and a real non-robotic voice of your choice. I am impressed, thank you!

Great ChatGPT chatbot! Awesome! Hi Thomas I have a Raspberry PI 5, a ollama with tinyollama setup on my system with an ollama webui as frontend. It works and the responses are good enough as far as speed is concerned. I already installed piper and the voice sounds natural and perhaps add whisper next for an all out local project. Do you know a way on how I can this all integrated together. I'll be looking forward to your next video.🌟🌟👍

this is awesome ive been trying to do the same project over the last week. i set up your code to use as an example for mine, but its running slow do you have any suggestions on how to speed it up? im running it on a rasp pi 4 8gb btw.

[@thomasthemaker]

The speed of the python script depends on the speed of speech-text + API call + text-to-speech (roughly). So a better mic + a wired connection for internet is my recommendation.

[@thomasthemaker]

Glad I could help, let me know if you have any video ideas suggestions!

Hello，How to ensure stable access to the chatgpt api in China? Recently, v2ray was used, but it is unstable

There is if you use gTTS instead of espeak. I'm about to make a new video on that

[@jrrisra]

Awesome project! Just what I've been looking for. Thanks for this! [suggestion] Would've been better if the voice was less robotic. I think there are TTS models that does that.

[@thomasthemaker]

That's correct, but I do see that TTS can have a significant latency. But still a great option! (GPT API already has quite some latency anyway)

[@dmitriychervonenko2953]

That is a great project. It would be great if you could enhance i even further. For example is it possible to use better text to speech engine which does not sound like a 20 year old robot, or somehow adopt GPT to give shorter answers to make it look more like a conversation rather than pronouncing a long passage? Thank you for your efforts.

[@thomasthemaker]

That's a really good feedback, the next version will have those improvements for sure! Thank you!

[@friedonions8955]

Honestly, I prefer the robotic voice. It gives itself personality!

[@thomasthemaker]

@@friedonions8955 haha that's a first time I heard this. I'm considering making an update for a more human like voice. The issue is latency because espeak (robot voice) is a synthezier and Google voice (human voice) is a conversion algorithm

Great video Thomas! Thanks for sharing :) Could you probably provide us with some further information about how this mini microphone can be plugged in and used and what kind of speaker you connected to the Raspberry pi and how? Many thanks in advance!

[@thomasthemaker]

I would recommend a blue ice mic! Good balance of quality and price

[@panagiotischasapopoulos243]

Thanks for your immediate response! I already bought a mini microphone similar to the one you suggested in the video but indeed the quality of it is not that good. That’s why I asked. And what about the audio output do you use a HDMI adaptor for it? Thank you once again for the nice video and keep up the great work!

[@thomasthemaker]

@@panagiotischasapopoulos243 for audio output, HDMI should work fine

[@sakuyarules]

This was pretty cool, also goo to know about the cost and $5 credit, thanks!

[@thomasthemaker]

Yep, even without the 5$ credit, the API is wildly cheap for normal use (not costing more than 10$/yr)

[@CerebralDad]

How can you improve the lag time between the command and answer, like alexa or a google device?

[@thomasthemaker]

Good question. From what I see, the majority of latency comes from text -> voice & the other way around. Try plugging it into your Wi-Fi router with Ethernet cable

[@thomasthemaker]

And you could also use OpenAI whisper or ElevenLab to see if it is any better

[@CerebralDad]

@@thomasthemaker unfortunately not an option on the robot im building. The latency cant be that bad.

What to do at 4:48 ?? After the key is written what should we do next with the code

[@DeathTempler]

Can you get it to control motors and LED's? I'm new to the GPT space and am seeking to make a complex arduino android controlled by types of responses. Like a wealth of animations triggered by the chat bot's reply, and the attitude it associates with it's response.

[@thomasthemaker]

That actually sounds really cool. I would defo think about making a video on this . A gpt filter + split GPIO code into micro services will achieve this

[@snoebix5125]

[@ismaelperegrina8201]

Thank you for this!!! Do you know if/ how it’s possible to change how the voice sounds?

[@zayanarshad88]

I'm guessing he used the pyttsx3 module (havent taken a look at the code), which uses the operating system's built in text to speech technology. You could try using openai's tts model, but that would be more code and an extra cost. I *have* however, opted to use it for many personal projects.

Hi I tryed this today on my mac but the script dont react to any sound. Probably because its not connectet to my mic but in the audio settings isnt a hdmi devise like you showed

[@thomasthemaker]

Let's run through some simple debugging. 1. Did it pick up your voice? If not, has to be the code not picking up the right mic.If so, move on. 2. Is it printing out the response in the terminal? If not, the API and/or wifi is not working. If yes, move on. 3. In this case, there can only be the python script not outputting to the right speaker. Let me know if this helps
