Heavily inspired by Neuro-sama
[!TIP]

[!WARNING]
Attention: We do not have any officially minted cryptocurrency or token associated with this project. Please check the information and proceed with caution.
[!NOTE]
We've got a whole dedicated organization @proj-airi for all the sub-projects born from Project AIRI. Check it out!
RAG, memory system, embedded database, icons, Live2D utilities, and more!
[!TIP]
You can translate AIRI on Crowdin, or open a pull request that changes packages/i18n/src/locales/. Both ways update the same translations.
Do not submit a translation that is the same as the English text. Review rejects it. A string without a translation shows the English text.
Have you dreamed about having a cyber living being (cyber waifu, digital pet) or digital companion that could play with and talk to you?
With the power of modern large language models like ChatGPT and famous Claude, asking a virtual being to roleplay and chat with us is already easy enough for everyone. Platforms like Character.ai (a.k.a. c.ai) and JanitorAI as well as local playgrounds like SillyTavern are already good-enough solutions for a chat based or visual adventure game like experience.
But, what about the abilities to play games? And see what you are coding at? Chatting while playing games, watching videos, and is capable of doing many other things.
Perhaps you know Neuro-sama already. She is currently the best virtual streamer capable of playing games, chatting, and interacting with you and the participants. Some also call this kind of being "digital human." Sadly, as it's not open sourced, you cannot interact with her after her live streams go offline.
Therefore, this project, AIRI, offers another possibility here: let you own your digital life, cyber living, easily, anywhere, anytime.

What's So Special About This Project?
Unlike the other AI driven VTuber open source projects, アイリ was built with support of many Web technologies such as WebGPU, WebAudio, Web Workers, WebAssembly, WebSocket, etc. from the first day.
[!TIP]
Worrying about the performance drop since we are using Web related technologies?
Don't worry, while the Web browser version is meant to give an insight into how much we can push and do inside browsers and webviews, we will never fully rely on this. The desktop version of AIRI is capable of using native NVIDIA CUDA and Apple Metal by default (thanks to HuggingFace & the beloved candle project), without any complex dependency management. Considering the tradeoff, it is partially powered by Web technologies for graphics, layouts, animations, and the WIP plugin system for everyone to integrate things.
