Would anyone be interested in a fully local 3D AI companion like this?
I built a small Unity-chan companion prototype using a local LLM [really dumb model atm / gemma-3-1b], local TTS [kokoro], and lip sync. You can speak to her and get a voiced response [with a delay though due to TTS generation] without sending the conversation to a cloud AI service.
This is still very early, so I’m trying to gauge interest before developing it further. Would you actually use something like this? If so, what would matter most: persistent memory, customizable characters, emotions, or screen awareness?
