Talk to Santa Cat` is a holiday-themed mobile app that allows children to engage in live, voice-driven conversations with an AI-powered animated cat in Santa's workshop, featuring advanced Large Language Model (LLM) technologies for uniquely engaging interactions. The app was designed by Daily engineers who are also parents, aiming to create a safe and family-friendly experience, with fine-tuned AI components to provide an imaginative and age-appropriate space for children to immerse themselves in the holiday season. The app is designed with high levels of privacy, does not require login information or recording video or audio, and contains no ad monetization or tracking. To build such experiences, developers need to consider various technological challenges, including speed, accuracy, and natural conversational elements, and Daily aims to make it easier for them by providing a new open-source framework that handles the hard parts in a highly configurable way.
