Friend companion made of memories?

3t1s

Hi everyone, I’m new here!
I’ve been trying to make a gift to my bf, a smart mirror who’s also a companion, a friend with whom he can interact with every morning and so on.

A “friend” that talks to you daily and says nice things and can reply back to you when asked a question or two. And by question I don’t mean “What’s the weather today?” but more like “How are you doing today?”

Is that possible? Has it been done here before?

Thank you!

@3t1s
There are some AI powered modules; (GoogleAssistant, OpenAI, …)
But, usually, they would be more like What's the weather today, not How are you doing today.
And handling voice is not so easy. Only few modules are working at this moment.

@MMRIZE Ohhhhh I see…I recall that one project posted on Youtube with the guy speaking to the mirror but that was 7 years ago so I was hoping something new had come up in the meantime.

@3t1s MagicMirror’s core design is a passive, output only, composable information panel.

one can add other components to enable voice, and tts output, BUT the other add ons don’t know and generally don’t have interactive support

@MMRIZE Oh wow nice to meet you sir! You made a great project back then! I was looking to make a gift for my best friend that would remind him of his “imaginary friend”, which “used to make compliments to him” like “you’re beautiful today” and stuff like that.

Maybe this is a most similar thing that you want;

@MMRIZE Ok never seen this one before! I read about the translation part and that it doesn’t make the “mirror” speak in that language. Isn’t it possible to make it speak in another language?
I’m not too used to google assistant but I thought it could reply back in let’s say italian…

@3t1s it can only reply in languages supported by Google Assistant.

@sdetweil Ok so that should be fine then, thank you!
