The first time I talked with AI santa and it responded with a joke I was HOOKED. The fun/nonsense doesn't click until you try it yourself. What's even more exciting is you can build it yourself:

libpeer: https://github.com/sepfy/libpeer

pion: https://github.com/pion/webrtc

Then go do all your fun logic in your Pion server. Connect to any Voice AI provider, or roll your own via Open Source. Anything is possible.

If you have questions or hit any roadblocks I would love to help you. I have lots of hardware snippets on my GitHub: https://github.com/sean-der.

How’d you manufacture something like this? How’d you get Walmart to sell it? How everything please. I got an idea for a mean talking toothbrush.

I didn’t do any of that, I just did media code!

I worked as contractor for company that has relationships with Walmart.
