# AIAssistant Simulator

Welcome to the AIAssistant Simulator, a versatile and customizable AI-powered assistant written in .NET 7. This assistant utilizes various technologies for speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and AI computations. Below are the key components and instructions to set up and run the AIAssistant Simulator.

## Technologies Used:

1. **Pico2wave for TTS:**

   - Install with: `sudo apt-get install libttspico-utils`

2. **Leopard for Voice-to-Text:**

   - Requires an API key for verification. The user can use the provided API key for fair usage limits.

   - Set the API key using the `leopard_access_key` environment variable.

3. **Ollama for AI Calculations:**

   - Install with: `curl https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh`

   - GitHub Project: [Ollama GitHub](https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama)

   - Set the Ollama URL using the `ollama_url` environment variable.

   - Run `ollama pull llama2` to pull the Ollama models.

## Setup Instructions:

1. **Install Dependencies:**

   - Install Pico2wave: `sudo apt-get install libttspico-utils`

   - Install Ollama: `curl https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh`

2. **Configure Environment Variables:**

   - Set the audio input device using the `audio_device_index` environment variable.

   - Set the Leopard API key using the `leopard_access_key` environment variable.

   - Set the Ollama URL using the `ollama_url` environment variable.

3. **Build and Run:**

   - Build the project using .NET 7: `dotnet build`

   - Run the AIAssistant Simulator: `dotnet run`

## Example Usage:

1. **Voice Input:**

   - Configure the input device using the `audio_device_index` environment variable.

2. **Leopard API Key:**

   - Use the provided API key for Leopard by setting the `leopard_access_key` environment variable.

3. **Ollama AI Calculation:**

   - Set the Ollama URL using the `ollama_url` environment variable.

   - Pull Ollama models with `ollama pull llama2`.

4. **Run the Assistant:**

   - Execute the AIAssistant Simulator with `dotnet run`.

## Important Notes:

- This AIAssistant Simulator allows users to interact using voice commands, converting speech to text.

- The Ollama AI service is used for complex computations, and the results are spoken using Pico2wave.
