wavefnx · x · 2026-11-02
wavefnx demos a homemade AI companion robot now wired to an LLM with internet access, web search, image display and tool calling. Mic and STT pipeline works cleanly, responses play over a speaker (not yet connected, shown as on-screen transcript), and it opens its eyes with a blue ring animation when spoken to.
