In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, point-and-click user interfaces are taking a backseat to voice-based interactions. Enter AIUI, a revolutionary platform designed for seamless verbal communication with AI models. Let’s dive into what AIUI is and how you can set it up for your own use.

What is AIUI?

AIUI is an innovative platform that enables users to communicate with AI models through voice. Whether you’re on your desktop or mobile, AIUI harnesses the power of voice to provide an intuitive and natural user experience. Currently, it supports advanced models like GPT-4 and GPT-3.5, with plans for further open model support.

How to Use AIUI

Getting started with AIUI is simple! To interact with the AI, follow these steps:

• Navigate to the AIUI application in your web browser.
• Start speaking after the application is loaded. AIUI will listen to your voice input.
• The AI will process your input and respond with synthesized speech.
• Enjoy a natural conversation with the AI by speaking and listening to its responses.

Running AIUI Locally

For those who prefer to run AIUI locally, here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Clone the repository:

   bash git clone git@github.com:lspahija/AIUI.git

2. Change directory to AIUI:

   bash cd AIUI

3. Build the Docker image:

   bash docker build -t aiui .

   or for arm64 architecture:

   bash docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64 -t aiui .

4. Create a Docker container from the image:

   bash docker run -d -e OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY -e TTS_PROVIDER=EDGETTS -e EDGETTS_VOICE=en-US-EricNeural -p 8000:80 aiui

5. Finally, navigate to localhost:8000 in a modern browser.

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Think of running AIUI like making a special cocktail at home. Each step adds a unique flavor to the final drink:

• Cloning the repository is like gathering all the ingredients you need. You can’t make a cocktail without knowing what to include.
• Changing the directory is akin to moving to the bar area where you’ll be mixing drinks — it prepares you for the next step.
• Building the Docker image is similar to actually mixing your ingredients together. You create the base of your drink.
• Creating the Docker container is like pouring your cocktail into a glass, ready for serving. You’ve prepared everything, and now it’s about making it accessible.
• Last but not least, navigating to localhost is enjoying your drink and experiencing the refreshing blend of flavors you’ve crafted!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while setting up or using AIUI, here are a few troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure that Docker is properly installed on your machine.
• Double-check your OPENAI_API_KEY to make sure it’s correctly entered.
• If AIUI isn’t responding as expected, verify that the correct TTS provider is selected and configured.
• If you experience issues with voice input recognition, try speaking more clearly or check your microphone settings.
