Great job. I must say that the speech synthesis sounds pretty realistic. I talked with Jobs, Musk and Obama and liked how they sounded and more importantly how they handled the questions. Do you mind sharing the entire stack you used to build this? Very well done!

Gonna go out on a limb and say perhaps the creator of this is a fan.

Thanks much appreciated! It was a mixture of some the latest TTS models. Azure speech to text. Gpt ofc. And some other tools for handling conversational stuff (like interruptions).

#16I cannot get this to work on iOS Safari. Microphone permission is enabled but the voice assistant can’t hear me.

Absolutely not. Huge hater tbh. Just picked personalities that were of public interest.
I think he's likely more interesting to you than he is to the general public.
You might also consider the gender breakdown — you've got 8 men and 4 women (and only two of those women actually exist).

#18I find the title a bit misleading. Looking at 'Her' I expect agentic behaviour with memory that I'd likely interact with for long periods of time, the proposed applications seems to be not remotely similar to this expectation.

Nicely done. Does Azure Speech to Text also handle speech synthesis and provide out of the box voices for different characters or you had to build your own model to do this? It's impressive if their service can do it all: speech recognition, speech to text and text to speech and in near real-time. I should take a closer look at the Azure ML stack :)
