Overview
AIRI is an attempt to re-create Neuro-sama as a self-owned digital companion. It runs as a web app, an Electron desktop app (Tamagotchi) and a Capacitor mobile app (Pocket), and drives VRM or Live2D avatars with speech input, multi-provider TTS and an LLM backend. It can chat on Discord and Telegram and play Minecraft and Factorio, and the README describes it as early-stage.
Who it is for: Self-hosters and VTuber hobbyists wanting an AI companion with avatar
Strengths
- Runs in browser, desktop (Electron) and mobile (PWA/Capacitor) from one TypeScript monorepo
- Supports 25+ LLM providers including Ollama, vLLM, SGLang, OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini
- Controls VRM and Live2D avatars with auto blink, look-at and idle eye movement
- Connectors for Discord voice and text, Telegram, Minecraft and Factorio
Weaknesses
- README states development is at an early stage
- Long-term memory (Memory Alaya) and in-browser WebGPU inference are unfinished
- Factorio and Helldivers 2 support are WIP or proof of concept
- No Docker or compose setup; self-hosting means building with pnpm or using release binaries
What it needs
- GPU optional
- Needs pnpm, Electron, Capacitor
- Models: OpenAI-compatible APIs, Ollama, vLLM, SGLang, Anthropic
