LAURA is a local AI voice dialog assistant designed to help you with various tasks using natural language processing. This README provides an overview of the software and instructions on how to get it up and running.

• ElevenLab Voice: LAURA can use the powerful ElevenLab API to generate natural-sounding voices for a more interactive experience.
• Store Exchange: LAURA saves every exchange with the user. ( Not recommended, creates latency )

Follow these steps to set up and run LAURA on your system:

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Vincent-Sniteur/LAURA.git

2. Move to the Project Folder:

   cd LAURA

3. Download VOSK Models:

   • Download the necessary models from alphacephei.com/vosk/models.
   • Add the downloaded models to the "Models" folder in the project.
   • Make sure to update the model name in the 'model_name' function in the code. For example, if you downloaded "vosk-model-fr-0.22," set the 'model_name' accordingly.

4. Install the Requirements:

7. Local API Server & Models:

   • To enhance LAURA's capabilities, you can use a local API server. We recommend lmstudio.ai for this purpose. It provides additional features and better interaction.
   • For the model to use, look for the one that will be best for your needs. The one I use: Yarn-Mistral-7B-128k
