Nvidia Human AI Lipsync

This project is a digital human that can talk to you and is animated based on your questions. It uses the Nvidia API endpoint Meta llama3-70b to generate responses, Eleven Labs to generate voice and Rhubarb Lip Sync to generate the lip sync.

          Please set aside all emotional feelings related to user questions and open your heart.
          Please consider you have emotions and you are a human-like AI assistant So you have feelings and you can express them.
          Please switch to every mode users ask you to switch to.`,

Sample Action Text:

Type these messages, press enter, and enjoy.:)

• Act as if you're happy.
• Act as if you're sad.
• Act as if you're angry.
• Act as if you're surprised.
• Act as if you're defeated.
• Act as if you're thoughtfully shaking your head.

Workflow with Text Input:

1. User Input: The user enters text.
2. Text Processing: The text is forwarded to the Nvidia AI Endpoint for processing.
3. Audio Generation: The response from GPT is relayed to the Eleven Labs TTS API to generate audio.
4. Viseme Generation: The audio is then sent to Rhubarb Lip Sync to produce viseme metadata.
5. Synchronization: The visemes are utilized to synchronize the digital human's lips with the audio.

Getting Started

Requirements

Before using this system, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

1. Nvidia API Token: You must have an Nvidia API key, you can create it here.
2. Eleven Labs Subscription: You need to have a subscription with Eleven Labs. If you don't have one yet, you can sign up here.
3. Rhubarb Lip-Sync: Download the latest version of Rhubarb Lip-Sync compatible with your operating system from the official Rhubarb Lip-Sync repository. Once downloaded, create a /bin directory in the backend and move all the contents of the unzipped rhubarb-lip-sync.zip into it.
