Create Your Own AI Voice Agent Using EchoKit, ESP32, and Rust: Have you ever wanted to build your very own voice AI Agent — one that actually talks back to you? In this tutorial, we'll show you how to build a fun and interactive AI assistant using EchoKit, a powerful yet easy-to-build voice AI agent powered by …

Step-by-step tutorial for EchoKit, a DIY AI voice agent (fully open source) I’ve been working on. 🔹 Hardware: An easy-to-assemble ESP32-S3 board (EchoKit). 🔹 Server: A high-performance server built entirely in Rust to manage the ASR -> LLM -> TTS pipeline. 🔹 AI Models: Fully customizable, using Groq’s APIs (Whisper, Llama 3, PlayAI-TTS) in the guide for near-instant responses. This project is perfect for: Developers wanting to understand the full-stack AI pipeline (not just the API call). Makers building custom smart home devices or interactive prototypes. Educators/Students looking for a hands-on project that combines embedded systems, modern backend programming (Rust), and generative AI. Comments
