What it is

AIRI is an AI virtual character app modeled on Neuro-sama: it gives an LLM-driven persona an animated Live2D or VRM body, real-time voice conversation, and the ability to play games such as Minecraft and Factorio. It runs in the browser, on mobile through the web, and as a desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. People who want their own AI VTuber or companion, kept under their control instead of a hosted service, use it to build and talk with a character.
