</a>
1. **Start Supabase**
Install [Supabase CLI](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/local-development/cli/getting-started) and set up your Local Supabase Backend. From the root directory, run:
```bash
brew install supabase/tap/supabase
supabase start # Starts your local Supabase server with the default migrations and seed data.
```
2. **Set up your NextJS Frontend**
([See the Frontend README](frontend-nextjs/README.md))
From the `frontend-nextjs` directory, run the following commands. (**Login creds:** Email: `admin@elatoai.com`, Password: `admin`)
```bash
cd frontend-nextjs
npm install
cp .env.example .env.local
# In .env.local, set your environment variables
# NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=<your-supabase-anon-key>
# OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-openai-api-key>
# Run the development server
npm run dev
```
3. **Start the Deno server**
([See the Deno server README](server-deno/README.md))
```bash
# Navigate to the server directory
cd server-deno
cp .env.example .env
# In .env, set your environment variables
# SUPABASE_KEY=<your-supabase-anon-key>
# OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-openai-api-key>
# Run the server at port 8000
deno run -A --env-file=.env main.ts
```
4. **Setup the ESP32 Device firmware**
([See the ESP32 Device README](firmware-arduino/README.md))
In `Config.cpp` set `ws_server` and `backend_server` to your local IP address. Run `ifconfig` in your console and find `en0` -> `inet` -> `192.168.1.100` (it may be different for your Wifi network). This tells the ESP32 device to connect to your NextJS frontend and Deno server running on your local machine. All services should be on the same Wifi network.
5. **Setup the ESP32 Device Wifi**
Build and upload the firmware to your ESP32 device. The ESP32 should open an `ELATO-DEVICE` captive portal to connect to Wifi. Connect to it and go to `http://192.168.4.1` to configure the device wifi.
6. Once your Wifi credentials are configured, turn the device off and on again and it should connect to your Wifi and your server.
7. Now you can talk to your AI Character!
## 📦 Getting Started with multiple devices
1. Register your device by adding your ESP32 Device's MAC Address and a unique user code to the `devices` table in Supabase.
> **Pro Tip:** To find your ESP32-S3 Device's MAC Address, build and upload `test/print_mac_address_test.cpp` using PlatformIO and view the serial monitor.
2. Register your user account to this device by adding your unique user code to the [Settings page](http://localhost:3000/home/settings) in the NextJS Frontend. This links your device to your account.
3. Set DEV_MODE to `False` in your `frontend-nextjs/.env.local` env variable.
> **Pro Tip:** If you're testing locally, you can keep enabled the `DEV_MODE` macro in the `Config.h` file of your firmware and the Deno server env variable to use your local IP addresses for testing.
4. Now you can register multiple devices to your account by repeating the process above.
## Project Architecture
ElatoAI consists of three main components:
1. **Frontend Client** (`Next.js` hosted on Vercel) - to create and talk to your AI agents and 'send' it to your ESP32 device
2. **Edge Server Functions** (`Deno` running on Deno/Supabase Edge) - to handle the websocket connections from the ESP32 device and the OpenAI API calls
3. **ESP32 IoT Client** (`PlatformIO/Arduino`) - to receive the websocket connections from the Edge Server Functions and send audio to the OpenAI API via the Deno edge server.
## 🌟 Features
1. **Realtime Speech-to-Speech**: Instant speech conversion powered by OpenAI's Realtime APIs.
2. **Create Custom AI Agents**: Create custom agents with different personalities and voices.
3. **Customizable Voices**: Choose from a variety of voices and personalities.
4. **Secure WebSockets**: Reliable, encrypted WebSocket communication.
5. **Server VAD Turn Detection**: Intelligent conversation flow handling for smooth interactions.
6. **Opus Audio Compression**: High-quality audio streaming with minimal bandwidth.
7. **Global Edge Performance**: Low latency Deno Edge Functions ensuring seamless global conversations.
8. **ESP32 Arduino Framework**: Optimized and easy-to-use hardware integration.
9. **Conversation History**: View your conversation history.
10. **Device Management and Authentication**: Register and manage your devices.
11. **User Authentication**: Secure user authentication and authorization.
12. **Conversations with WebRTC and Websockets**: Talk to your AI with WebRTC on the NextJS webapp and with websockets on the ESP32.
13. **Volume Control**: Control the volume of the ESP32 speaker from the NextJS webapp.
14. **Realtime Transcripts**: The realtime transcripts of your conversations are stored in the Supabase DB.
15. **OTA Updates**: Over the Air Updates for the ESP32 firmware.
16. **Wifi Management with captive portal**: Connect to your Wifi network from the ESP32 device.
17. **Factory Reset**: Factory reset the ESP32 device from the NextJS webapp.
18. **Button and Touch Support**: Use the button OR touch sensor to control the ESP32 device.
19. **No PSRAM Required**: The ESP32 device does not require PSRAM to run the speech to speech AI.
20. **OAuth for Web client**: OAuth for your users to manage their AI characters and devices.
