Just wanted to share this project that you can do yourself which has been my obsession for a year. A little 3D printed physical interface to my Ollama LLM that I can talk to throughout the day and who will check in on me. I have to say that having a conversation with a physical presence and face (albiet a crudely drawn one) makes ocnversing with an LLM a little more personal.
Anyway, it's made with a Raspberry Pi 4B, ReSpeaker 2-Mics Pi HAT, and written in Python. It interfaces with various LLMs and contains a microphone/speaker array to allow "voice chat" (technically stt->tts, it's not actually listening to your voice). It also has a camera to check in on you to see if you are there, and will even take a picture of you to start a conversation!
This was my first big RPi project and a great beginner project!!Build your own here: https://el3ktra.net/introducing-lilll3x-the-desktop-ai-sidekick/ and let me know how it goes!
