Bella is a self-hosted Node.js web application that acts as a personalized AI digital companion with voice interaction. It combines Whisper-based speech recognition, LLM-driven dialogue, and an animated visual interface served locally on port 8081.

Use cases

  • run a personal AI companion on my own machine
  • chat with an AI assistant using my voice
  • self-host a Siri-like assistant with Whisper speech recognition
  • build a digital companion with emotional feedback
  • experiment with local LLM dialogue and TTS
  • create a voice-activated assistant web app

When to choose

  • you want a self-hosted, privacy-friendly AI companion with voice input
  • you want to experiment with an alpha-stage companion AI built on Node.js and Whisper
  • you need a ready-made web UI for LLM-based conversation

When to avoid

  • you need a production-stable assistant - the project is explicitly alpha with many features unimplemented
  • you require a permissive license - no license file is present despite MIT badges
  • you want a mature memory system, facial recognition, or proactive behavior - these are only planned
