The Conversational Speaker, informally known as "Friend Bot", uses a Raspberry Pi to enable a spoken conversation with OpenAI large language models. This implementation waits for a wake phrase, listens to speech, processes the conversation through the OpenAI service, and responds back. For more information on the prompt engine used for maintaining conversation context, go here: python,typescript,dotnet. This project is written in.NET 6 which supports Raspberry Pi OS, Linux, macOS, and Windows. The code base has a default wake word (i.e., "Hey, Computer.")

A recent VUX World podcast took a deep dive into how voice AI is disrupting multiple industries. Special guest, Mike Zagorsek, VP of product marketing at SoundHound Inc. spoke with hosts Kane Simms and Dustin Coates of VUX World about the Houndify Voice AI platform. He highlighted how some of our partners (Mercedes-Benz, Pandora, and Mastercard) are using voice to create deeper relationships with their customers and extending the functionality and convenience of their products and services. The following is a recap of some of that conversation. You can watch and listen to the podcast in its entirety here.
