Kiezbot Berlin

Our little Kiezbot Berlin is a conversational AI robot simulating three different characters. It's made to interact with the citizens of Berlin to explain AI in a playfull way.

We use a Python script to send a voice recording of user to multiple Artificial Intelligence (AI) APIs:

• Whisper AI for speech-to-text

• ChatGPT 3.5 as LLM that generates an answer

• Google Text-To-Speech to let the answer sound like a real character

Setup Environment

To install the requirements (globally) run: pip install -r requirements.txt to install missing requirements

Create a .env file and add your API Keys like this:

OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key"

Run: python main.py

That's it!
