Could you build this?

Partial Chat over OpenRouter or Ollama, voice I/O, and memory are assemblable from existing components. The Live2D character model is a rigged artist asset, and low-latency voice interaction needs careful engineering.

What it would actually take: Assemble a web or desktop client with a Live2D runtime, streaming STT and TTS, an LLM backend via OpenRouter or Ollama, and a vector store or summary-based memory. The character needs a commissioned, rigged Live2D model with expression mappings. Building a convincing version requires an illustrator or rigger and some real-time audio and latency tuning experience.
