## What it is
Project AIRI is an open-source, self-hosted AI companion (waifu/virtual character) platform inspired by Neuro-sama, supporting Live2D and VRM 3D avatars with realtime voice chat. It can play games like Minecraft and Factorio, and runs as a web app or desktop application on macOS, Windows, and mobile.

## Use cases
- run a self-hosted AI vtuber companion
- create an AI waifu with live2d or VRM avatar
- have an AI companion play Minecraft with me
- open source alternative to Neuro-sama or Grok Companion
- realtime voice chat with a virtual character
- AI companion for VTuber streaming
- chat with a digital life that watches what I code

## When to choose
- you want to own and self-host your AI companion instead of using Character.ai or SillyTavern
- you need Live2D/VRM avatars with realtime voice and game-playing abilities
- you want a VTuber-style AI for streaming or content creation
- you prefer running local LLMs to avoid token costs

## When to avoid
- you only need a plain text chatbot without avatars or voice
- you need a fully stable production system - some features are in beta/nightly
- you need mobile support - iOS/Android builds still have performance issues
- you want a closed-source polished product like the original Neuro-sama
