Have you dreamed about having a cyber living being (cyber waifu, digital pet) or digital companion that could play with and talk to you?
With the power of modern large language models like ChatGPT and famous Claude, asking a virtual being to roleplay and chat with us is already easy enough for everyone. Platforms like Character.ai (a.k.a. c.ai) and JanitorAI as well as local playgrounds like SillyTavern are already good-enough solutions for a chat based or visual adventure game like experience.
But, what about the abilities to play games? And see what you are coding at? Chatting while playing games, watching videos, and is capable of doing many other things.
Perhaps you know Neuro-sama already. She is currently the best virtual streamer capable of playing games, chatting, and interacting with you and the participants. Some also call this kind of being "digital human." Sadly, as it's not open sourced, you cannot interact with her after her live streams go offline.
Therefore, this project, AIRI, offers another possibility here: let you own your digital life, cyber living, easily, anywhere, anytime.

What's So Special About This Project?
Unlike the other AI driven VTuber open source projects, アイリ was built with support of many Web technologies such as WebGPU, WebAudio, Web Workers, WebAssembly, WebSocket, etc. from the first day.
Tip
Worrying about the performance drop since we are using Web related technologies?
Don't worry, while the Web browser version is meant to give an insight into how much we can push and do inside browsers and webviews, we will never fully rely on this. The desktop version of AIRI is capable of using native NVIDIA CUDA and Apple Metal by default (thanks to HuggingFace & the beloved candle project), without any complex dependency management. Considering the tradeoff, it is partially powered by Web technologies for graphics, layouts, animations, and the WIP plugin system for everyone to integrate things.
This means that アイリ is capable of running on modern browsers and devices and even on mobile devices (already done with PWA support). This brings a lot of possibilities for us (the developers) to build and extend the power of アイリ VTuber to the next level, while still leaving the flexibility for users to enable features that require TCP connections or other non-Web technologies such as connecting to a Discord voice channel or playing Minecraft and Factorio with friends.
Note
We are still in the early stage of development where we are seeking out talented developers to join us and help us to make アイリ a reality.
It's ok if you are not familiar with Vue.js, TypeScript, and devtools required for this project, you can join us as an artist, designer, or even help us to launch our first live stream.
Even if you are a big fan of React, Svelte or even Solid, we welcome you. You can open a sub-directory to add features that you want to see in アイリ, or would like to experiment with.
Fields (and related projects) that we are looking for:
• Live2D modeller
• VRM modeller
• VRChat avatar designer
• Computer Vision
• Reinforcement Learning
• Speech Recognition
• Speech Synthesis
• ONNX Runtime
• Transformers.js
• vLLM
• WebGPU
• Three.js
• WebXR (checkout the another project we have under the @moeru-ai organization)
If you are interested, why not introduce yourself here? Would like to join part of us to build AIRI?

Development
For detailed instructions to develop this project, follow CONTRIBUTING.md
Note
By default, pnpm dev will start the development server for the Stage Web (browser version). If you would like to try developing the desktop version, please make sure you read CONTRIBUTING.md to setup the environment correctly.
Stage Web (Browser Version at airi.moeru.ai)
Stage Tamagotchi (Desktop Version)
A Nix package for Tamagotchi is included. To run airi with Nix, first make sure to enable flakes, then run:
NixOS
Electron requires shared libraries that aren't in standard paths on NixOS. Use the FHS shell defined in flake.nix:
Stage Pocket (Mobile Version)
Start the development server for the capacitor:
You can see the list of available devices and simulators by running pnpm exec cap run ios --list.
If you need to connect server channel on pocket in wireless mode, you need to start tamagotchi as root:
Then enable secure websocket in tamagotchi settings/connections.

• Reka UI: for designing the documentation site, the new landing page is based on this, as well as implementing a massive amount of UI components. (shadcn-vue is using Reka UI as the headless, do checkout!)
• Design of UI and style was inspired by Cookard, UNBEATABLE, and Sensei! I like you so much!, and artworks of Ayame by Mercedes Bazan with Wish by Mercedes Bazan
• xsai: Implemented a decent amount of packages to interact with LLMs and models, like Vercel AI SDK but way small.
