| | NeuralCompanion is an open-source, local-first AI companion project for people who like building, experimenting, and seeing how far personal AI can go on their own hardware. It brings together realtime voice chat, local LLMs, TTS/STT, image generation, interactive tutorials, API-friendly workflows, and a modular addon system into one desktop app designed to be flexible, hackable, and genuinely fun to explore. NC also supports avatar systems and avatar engines like VSeeFace, VAM/VAM2, and other experimental realtime avatar workflows. It is still experimental and a little rough around the edges in places, but that is part of the project. The goal is not to make another locked-down corporate assistant. It is to build a customizable AI companion platform you can actually run, modify, and shape yourself. If you are into local AI, creative tools, avatars, plugins, voice interfaces, automation, or weird future-facing software, come take a look. GitHub: Discord: Developers, tinkerers, artists, AI enthusiasts, and curious people very welcome. Rakila & LAinol submitted by /u/lainol |
