Mindful Interactive Assistant

Inspiration

The increasing prevalence of social isolation worldwide, even more so after the pandemic, inspired me to create MIA, an AI companion designed to provide emotional support through natural conversations.

What it does

MIA offers judgment-free conversations using voice interaction, learning from each interaction to become a personalized emotional support companion. Features include:

• Voice recognition (STT, ASR) and synthesis (TTS)
• Emotional response system
• Short (current conversation) and Long (past interactions) term memories
• Visual feedback
