I am looking for a freelance developer or team to create a local AI avatar system with real-time voice interaction and facial/lip synchronization. Currently, we already have a basic avatar that can display responses, but it does not speak or animate facial movements naturally. The goal is to build an avatar that can: Speak directly using AI-generated voice (TTS) Synchronize mouth/facial movements with speech Simulate realistic modulation using at least the 5 main vowel mouth shapes (visemes/phonemes) Run locally (offline or local server environment) Allow flexible integration with different AI providers Main requirements: • Local execution The system must run locally using CPU/GPU resources. Cloud dependence should be minimal or optional. • Lip sync / facial animation The avatar should animate while speaking, including: mouth movement synchronization basic facial animation blinking / idle movements preferred Possible technologies are open to proposal: Unity Unreal Engine [login to view URL] WebGL Live2D NVIDIA Audio2Face Oculus LipSync Rhubarb Lip Sync or similar alternatives • AI integration flexibility The conversational AI provider is not fixed. The architecture should allow easy replacement/integration of APIs such as: Grok OpenAI Claude Gemini local LLMs custom APIs We will later modify the backend/API ourselves, so modular architecture is important. • Audio pipeline Ideally the system should support: microphone input speech-to-text AI response generation text-to-speech synchronized avatar playback Deliverables: Fully functional prototype Source code Basic installation documentation Modular architecture Local deployment instructions Preferred experience: AI avatars lip sync systems facial animation TTS/STT Unity/Unreal real-time rendering local AI systems Optional future features: multiple avatars emotions streaming integration facial recognition body animation camera integration Please include: technologies you would use estimated timeline previous related work/demo if available approximate budget estimate for MVP development.

Hi There!!! ★★★★ (Local AI avatar system with real-time voice, lip sync & modular AI integration architecture) ★★★★ Project understanding: You already have a basic avatar and now need to upgrade it into a fully interactive system with real-time AI voice, speech-driven facial animation, and proper lip synchronization. It must run locally and support flexible AI provider integration. ⚜ Local execution setup (Unity/Unreal or hybrid with Python backend) ⚜ Real-time TTS voice generation with natural speech flow ⚜ Lip sync system using visemes / phoneme-based mouth shapes ⚜ Facial animation (blinking, idle motion, simple expressions) ⚜ Modular AI integration layer (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, local LLMs) ⚜ Audio pipeline: mic input → STT → AI response → TTS → avatar playback ⚜ Optimized CPU/GPU local performance with minimal cloud dependency I have worked on Unity-based interactive systems, AI voice pipelines, and real-time animation syncing projects involving TTS/STT integration and character behavior systems. Plan: first upgrade avatar animation + lip sync layer, then integrate speech pipeline, then connect modular AI backend, and finally optimize local performance and packaging. For this I would use Unity + Rhubarb/NVIDIA Audio2Face + Python AI orchestration depending on your current stack. Warm Regards, Farhin B.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ✅Hi there, hope you are doing well! I have developed local AI avatar systems integrating real-time voice interaction and facial animation, where the avatars spoke naturally with synchronized lip movements using modular AI pipelines. The most crucial part is building a modular architecture that allows easy swapping of AI providers while ensuring seamless local execution for real-time voice and facial animation sync. Approach: ⭕ I will design a local AI avatar system using Unity with NVIDIA Audio2Face for realistic lip sync and facial animation. ⭕ Implement TTS and STT audio pipeline with modular API integration for flexibility (OpenAI, Grok, local LLMs). ⭕ Develop facial idle movements and blinking to enhance realism. ⭕ Create a flexible backend architecture allowing easy AI provider replacement. ⭕ Deliver a fully functional, locally running prototype with source code and documentation. ❓ Could you please clarify your preferred platform or engine (Unity, Unreal, WebGL)? ❓ Do you have existing AI provider APIs ready for integration or should I implement initial OpenAI/Grok demos? ❓ Will the prototype need multi-avatar or multi-language support initially? I am confident in delivering a robust, realistic AI avatar that meets your all requirements, enabling smooth real-time voice interaction with facial sync in a fully local deployment environment. Looking forward to your response. Thank you! Best regards, Nam

hi, i have reviewed the details of your project. i would recommend using unity with a modular backend architecture because it gives strong support for real time rendering, lip sync systems, and future scalability. we can integrate tts, stt, and ai providers separately so you can swap apis later without rebuilding the system. for lip sync and facial animation, tools like oculus lipsync or nvidia audio2face can be combined with idle animations and blinking for a more natural feel. the focus will be on building a stable local prototype first with clean architecture and full source access. can we schedule a quick meeting to discuss the project in detail. it will help me understand your current setup better and then you can decide if i’m the right fit. i will also share relevant work during the chat. mughira
