OpenCohost orchestrator
Coordinates LLM output, voice generation, agenda state, profiles, chat reactions, context, and resilience.
What each piece does
Core modules and connected apps
OpenCohost is the chassis. It does not need to own every neural model to create value; it coordinates them, adds streamer controls, and makes the output usable live.
Ollama LLM path
Provides local model responses for the co-host, with speed and quality tied to model choice and hardware.
Voice output path
Provides Piper local synthesis, optional Edge-TTS light synthesis when privacy allows it, and an active path for custom voice work.
LiveAudio bridge
Separate app for Silero VAD, OpenAI Whisper open-source transcription, subtitles, transcripts, and voice context.
OpenCohost-designed behavior
Profiles, personalization, chat reaction, repetition mitigation, and context handling are designed by us.
Optional visual ambience
Avatar and music modules improve the show feel, but they are not required for the core AI loop.
