raullenchai / esp32-thinks
A multi-model Muse: personal AI voice assistant on ESP32 - wake word or knob, any OpenAI-compatible brain (STT/chat/TTS mix-and-match), streaming replies, out of the box. Built on muse-gadget-sdk.
Why this job: says: tts, voice assistant; topics: tts, whisper, stt, voice-assistant
What it does
- Wake word + button. say "Hi, ESP" (esp-sr WakeNet10, runs on-chip) or hold the knob; both start a turn. Wake turns end on a voice-activity timer; the button works exactly like before.
- Bring your own brain. three independent OpenAI-compatible endpoints (STT / chat / TTS) in one config file. Mix providers freely; presets: openai, quicksilver, openmuse, custom.
- Optional agent layer. the in-repo openmuse/ adds location, clock, weather, persistent memory and optional web search, owns the system prompt, and proxies STT so STT + chat share one TLS session. TTS still goes straight to your provider.
- Streaming voice replies. the chat stream is parsed at sentence boundaries (ASCII + CJK); each sentence is synthesized the moment it lands and appended to the audio already playing. First word arrives while the model is still generating.
- Long-lived brain connection. TLS is prepared before you ask, probed every 180 s while idle, and resumed with session tickets after an idle close. A failed probe triggers background preparation; a disconnect between probes may still need tu
