Project AIRI

airi is a self-hosted AI companion platform designed to create interactive virtual characters capable of real-time conversation, gameplay interaction, and multimedia presence. The project aims to emulate advanced AI personalities similar to popular autonomous VTuber-style agents, combining voice interaction, animation, and behavioral logic into a unified system. It supports deployment across web, macOS, and Windows environments, making it accessible for hobbyists and developers building digital companions. airi integrates real-time voice chat capabilities and can interact with external applications such as games, enabling more immersive and dynamic experiences. The system emphasizes user ownership and local hosting so developers maintain full control over their AI companion instances. Overall, airi serves as an extensible framework for building lifelike AI-driven virtual characters and interactive assistants.
