V-Chatter is an advanced, AI-driven desktop pet application where users can upload custom character models (VRM files only) and text/voice chat with them among other activities. App is in early development, but still completely usable!

Current features
Text and voice chat with user customized AI

Facial expression mapper to allow full animations for non standard models 

Expressive responses with real time lip sync

"Vtuber" mode, which is a compact, resizable display window of the model

Toggle to prevent intercepting inputs when playing games or doing other stuff


Music and video detection

Importing/replacing character model

Other features

- State animations
- Dance and pose selector
- Multi-language support (English, Japanese, Spanish, Simplified/Traditional Chinese, Korean)
- "Mimic" feature where the user can upload audio and select the corresponding sentiment for the character model to say expressively

Important info about the AI chat feature

**Full tutorial included in the app**

When the user submits a text or voice message, they will get an audio response if enabled. The character model will also pose and have a facial expression that corresponds to the underlying sentiment of the response. Chat history, chat error logs, your speech recording,  and audio response from the AI will be stored in the folder you selected in Settings -> Chat

There are two options for the AI feature. You can either use the built-in AI, or a python file I created that is publicly available to download from the Github repo. I made the python version for the AI so users can further customize the personality of the AI, extend the AI's functionality, integrate custom local AI models, and choose the services that serve the AI functionality to reduce costs and/or improve quality. Default setup is OpenRouter, OpenAI, or Ollama for the large language models, OpenAI for speech to text, and ElevenLabs for realistic & customizable text to speech. Additional info and support can be found in the official Discord server. 

Future Plans

I have plans to implement a lot more features that will improve everyone's experience with V-Chatter. If you wish to keep up to date with the latest developments or give suggestions of features you would like to see in the app, feel free to join the Discord Server
