## What it is
Project Riko is an anime-themed conversational voice assistant that combines OpenAI's GPT for dialogue, GPT-SoVITS for voice synthesis, and Faster-Whisper for speech recognition into a configurable pipeline. Personalities and prompts are defined via a YAML config, with conversation memory persisted across sessions.

## Use cases
- build an anime voice companion that talks back
- voice chatbot with speech recognition and tts
- create a customizable ai waifu assistant
- talk to an llm using your microphone
- configure a personality-driven voice assistant with yaml

## When to choose
- you want a fully local-configurable voice chat pipeline with push-to-talk
- you want anime-style character personalities with custom voice synthesis
- you already run GPT-SoVITS and Faster-Whisper and want to wire them to an LLM

## When to avoid
- you need a polished GUI or web interface (not yet implemented)
- you want a fully offline assistant without an OpenAI API key
- you need production-grade reliability or a licensed, supported product (no license file, single-maintainer project)
