This software uses libraries from the FFmpeg project under the LGPLv2.1
## Key Features
- Realtime promptable AI personality with text and speech input
- Support for MCP
- REST API and websocket server for building applications on top of this server
- Options to run fully local
## Official Applications
- [Discord bot integration](https://github.com/limitcantcode/app-jaison-discord-lcc)
- [VTube Studio with emotions](https://github.com/limitcantcode/app-jaison-vts-hotkeys-lcc)
- [Twitch Chat and Events content provider](https://github.com/limitcantcode/app-jaison-twitch-lcc)
Feel free to build and share your own! See the [Developer Guide](#developer-guide) for more info.
## Install From Scratch
> **Note**
> To simplify setup across platforms, setup now uses [conda](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/stable/user-guide/install/index.html). Conda is not necessary to run this project.
### Setup and install dependencies
Create and enter a virtual environment with Python ^3.10 and pip 24.0.
For example, using conda:
```bash
conda create -n jaison-core python=3.10 pip=24.0 -y
conda activate jaison-core
```
<hr />
Install [PyTorch 2.7.1](https://pytorch.org/get-started/previous-versions/) with the right integration. Example below for computers with RTX graphics card.
```bash
pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128
```
> For NVidia cards, ensure you have the latest drivers and [CUDA toolkit](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit)
> Dealing with duplicate `libiomp5md.dll`.
>
> It might not be necessary, but in case you encounter this error when running:
>
> 1. Go to environment directory (where conda stores installed packages)
> 2. Search for `libiomp5md.dll`
> 3. Delete the version under package `torch`
<hr />
Install dependencies.
```bash
# Inside project root where this README is located
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install --no-deps -r requirements.no_deps.txt
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
python install.py
python -m unidic download
```
> If on Windows, please enable [Developer Mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/enable-your-device-for-development)
<hr />
Install FFmpeg
#### For Ubuntu/Debian users
```bash
sudo apt install ffmpeg
```
#### For MacOS users
```bash
brew install ffmpeg
```
#### For Windows users
Download executables and place them in the root folder:
- [Download latest `ffmpeg-git-essentials.7z`](https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/)
- Extract and copy all contents from `bin/` to root of this project.
<hr />
Configuration
**FOR A FREE, 3RD PARTY T2T INTEGRATION**: Use `openai` type but configure for use with [Groq](https://console.groq.com/home).
Add keys and other sensitive information for services you intend to use in `.env` (make a new file and copy the contents of [`.env-template`](.env-template)).
For immediate setup using the example configuration, just provide the OpenAI API key.
Overall configuration can be done in `configs/` and an example with all configurable options is located in `configs/example.yaml`. See [Development guide](DEVELOPER.md) for details on configuration.
## How To Use
While using the virtual environment with the installation.
```bash
python ./src/main.py --help
```
Example usage: `python ./src/main.py --config=example`
