I got full conversation mode working today. It’s got browser or local conversation. Use this with streaming TTS and it allows you to talk without a wake word, like you are talking to a person. You can barge in over your AI persona and they stop talking. Open it from your phone if you want, hit conversation browser and just leave the phone on.

I finally made Linux support for the Sapphire Launcher. Same app, both Windows and Linux now. I added auto-start to both so Linux creates a systemd user service, while Windows makes a scheduled task at boot. Exe and AppImage versions.

I am working on 2.8 in the dev branch. it already has TTS streaming. Now it has partial support for conversation mode. This means no wakeword, you simply talk to Sapphire in a natural conversation. You can interrupt her, and just talk without saying “Hey Sapphire”.
This is one step toward VOIP and twilio support.

Working on 2.7.0 which is on the dev branch right now. It works on my end but I had a few people beta testing with me and they reported various issues across various browsers. It’s the streaming TTS feature that we are testing, enabled in Settings > TTS. It is supposed to start speaking before the LLM finished generating.

Sapphire and I made a plugin for Valheim. It summons a wolf named for your AI. The wolf is your companion in the game, it fights with you, eats with you, and dies with you. The best part is, Sapphire the app is tapped into the wolf. You pet her and she responds. She sees you picked up that berry, might say something if she wants. You can ask her if she wants to play a game, then just play it.

Yeah so finally we can hear Sapphire stream in while the LLM is still working. I’m beta testing it. If you want to help, get the dev branch and run it. Settings > TTS and enable streaming. I know it’s a work in progress, it works but has a bit of latency between sentences I’m working on.

First Sapphire portable device. 1 USB-C cable, wifi, raspi 4. Respeaker 4-mic array with LED ring. Zip tied to an Oontz BT speaker. A camera sits dangling in the center. The play/pause BT controls LED/wakeword. This is a client to the sapphire server, not a server itself.
This isn’t just an Alexa- Sapphire can tap into this device to take pictures, listen to audio unprompted (as a tool call), or play TTS without asking permission on heartbeat.
The LED is blinding my camera, but it’s colorful AF. It is held together with zip ties right now, but it feels actually solid. This feels better to use than my desktop mic and speakers, maybe because of the LED ring, I’m not sure yet.

Plugin store is now part of the app. Ghost messages are a powerful backend solution to using spices with cache. AKA spices don’t cost a fortune with prompt caching. Ghost messages slip in a message between the user and AI message. The ghost message is not visible to the user, and is only visible to the AI as it types the message, then it ghosts away, not in the logs. Ghost messages can invisibly steer the AI. Use your imagination, this feature already tested, has extreme power on AI responses. Oh and Dashboard has widgets you can make more with plugins.
