Based, I made a local, private AI friend works in show hn launch.

Profile

As children, we had imaginary friends. When LLMs came about, I thought we could finally bring imagination into reality - a physical embodiment that may even be helpful to children’s growth.I made Amy as a fun side project.Some things that I thought were important:- Conversations and data had to stay local and private. They shouldn’t go to an API somewhere, and I shouldn’t have to pay more to talk to Amy more- Amy should be cheap. A chip like Nvidia’s Jetson Orin Nano costs ~$250 alone, so this in particular was tricky- Amy doesn’t and shouldn’t need to be everywhere - on your phone, tablet, etc. There’s beauty in a simple physical embodimentThis is a prototype and I'd appreciate any feedback
