A CLOSER LOOK

Meet Project AIRI

Project AIRI is an open source character-companion project built around conversation and voice. Its browser and desktop experiences bring an animated character alongside a configurable model backend.

The project supports multiple providers rather than fixing every installation to one model. Some integrations explore game interaction; consult the project documentation for the maturity of individual features.

What you can do

Character interaction

Talk with an animated character through the supported chat and voice interfaces.

Provider choices

The documented backends include local Ollama and cloud model providers.

Desktop or browser

Choose from the experiences offered by the project for your device.

A good fit if you…

  • You want to configure a character companion and choose its model provider.

Getting started

  1. Open the official documentation and select the browser experience or a compatible desktop release.

  2. Configure the model and speech providers required by the features you want to use.

Things to know

  • Self-hosting the interface does not establish that all processing stays local. Provider costs vary, and persistent memory remains unconfirmed in this listing.

Before you bring them home

Self-hosting the app does not guarantee that model, speech, or memory data stays on your device. Processing depends on the selected providers. The README lists memory work in progress; persistent memory and a fixed model list are not confirmed.

Unknown specifications are marked as not confirmed. Review the developer’s requirements, privacy terms, and current pricing before choosing your companion.
