open-annie
A voice-driven 3D character in the browser. The model that talks is not the model that moves: GPT-Live-1 talks, Jev moves her, three.js + VRM render her, a thin broker runs on fal.

Could you build this?
Partial While Three.js/VRM rendering and calling GPT APIs are straightforward, synchronizing real-time voice streaming with generative motion models (like Jev) with low latency requires custom broker architecture.
What it would actually take: Uses WebRTC/WebSockets, Three.js with VRM loaders, OpenAI Realtime API for audio, and a GPU broker (fal.ai) running an ML motion model (Jev). The hard part is real-time animation-phoneme-audio synchronization and low-latency frame streaming without visual jitter.
