Show HN: openai-realtime-embedded-SDK Build AI assistants on microcontrollers
(github.com)63 points by Sean-Der 7 days ago | 15 comments
Hi HN! This is an SDK for ESP32s (microcontrollers) that runs against OpenAI's new WebRTC service [0] My hope is that people can easily add AI to lots of 'real' devices. Wearable devices, speakers around the house, toys etc... You don't have to write any code, just buy a device and set some env variables.
If you have any feedback/questions I would love to hear! I hope this kicks off a generation of new interesting devices. If you aren't familiar with WebRTC it can do some magical things. Check out WebRTC for the Curious[1] and would love to talk about all the cool things that does also.

Took a bit of poking to figure out what the use case is. Doesn't seem to be mentioned in the README (usage section is empty) or the intro above. Looks like the main use case is speech-to-speech. Which makes sense since we're talking about embedded products, and text-to-speech (for example) wouldn't usually be relevant (because most embedded products don't have a keyboard interface). Congrats on the launch! Cool to see WebRTC applied to embedded space. Streaming speech-to-speech with WebRTC could make a lot of sense.
