Summary

  • An AI Santa Claus has been created using an audio-enabled ESP32-S3 dev board, running the OpenAI OpenRealtime Embedded SDK.
  • The speech-to-speech AI has been primed with Santa’s voice and can be used for a range of applications in the run-up to Christmas.
  • However, in order to operate it requires cloud connectivity, which may be a limiting factor for some users who favour local, standalone solutions.
  • Regardless, the technology showcases the potential of AI voice interfaces, which can be applied to a wide range of uses beyond Christmas gimmicks.
