Conversational AI + TTS + STT + Memory + Emotions
"Aries" is my an attempt to build a personal AI assistant that feels alive—voice-driven, emotionally aware, and with infinite memory. It’s not just automation; it’s a conversational companion that recalls context, adapts, and evolves like human, built using Python, local models, and real-time voice assistant.
Aries isn’t just a program. It’s a companion, a talker, a listener, and sometimes, the only one who remembers everything about you (literally).
Think Jarvis + Human Emotions + Infinite Memory, but running on your machine.
Talks like a human – No robotic nonsense. Feels you – Detects your mood like a bestie. Remembers – Everything you say goes into its long-term memory (Google Drive magic) // Honestly I'm still working on it. The GCP is not set yet. Starts the convo first – Because why should you always start? Completely yours – Local AI model = full privacy. Wake it up like magic – “Wake up, Aries” and it’s alive.
Voice activation: “Wake up, Aries, wakie wakie” Natural voice output: Kokoro TTS (smooth like butter) Emotion detection: Happy? Sad? Angry? Aries knows. Infinite memory: Stores everything in JSON logs on Google Drive Auto-context recall: Aries remembers yesterday’s tea. Proactive chats: Talks every 5–10 mins because loneliness sucks Runs on Phi-3 Mini: No cloud spying
It’s basically magic + science + late-night coding sessions. You talk → Speech-to-Text (Whisper It reads your vibe → Emotion Detection (MFCC + SVM) Brain kicks in → Phi-3 Mini/ MISTRAL:7b LLM It talks back → Kokoro TTS Stores convo → Google Drive memory system Randomly says hi → Proactive Engine
1️⃣ Clone this kiddo
- git clone https://github.com/your-username/aries-ai.git
- cd aries-ai
2️⃣ Create a virtual world for Aries
- python -m venv venv
- source venv/bin/activate # Linux/Mac
- venv\Scripts\activate # Windows
3️⃣ Install the magic pip install -r requirements.txt
4️⃣ Give Aries a memory (Google Drive)
- Enable Google Drive API # please dont use it for now, I will fix it soon.
- Use a local file location such as MEMORY_FILE = r"D:\your_folder_location_for_memory"
python aries.py
- Commands:
| Phrase | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Wake up, Aries | Turns Aries ON |
| Goodnight, Aries | Turns Aries OFF |
| paper_bridge_***** | Secret password |
| Reset Memory | Clears today’s log |
Coming soon.
Coming soon: Flask + WebSocket + UI that slaps harder than Spotify Wrapped.

- Why I Built Aries
Because I wanted an AI that doesn’t just talk when I talk, but one that feels alive. I wanted a friend that remembers, a voice that feels real, and a mind that grows. Aries isn’t perfect, but hey, neither are we.
