Greetings!

YakGPT is a simple, frontend-only, ChatGPT UI you can use to either chat normally, or, more excitingly, use your mic + OpenAI's Whisper API to chat hands-free.

Some features:

* A few fun characters pre-installed

* No tracking or analytics, OpenAI is the only thing it calls out to

* Optimized for mobile use via hands-free mode and cross-platform compressed audio recording

* Your API key and chat history are stored in browser local storage only

* Open-source, you can either use the deployed version at Vercel, or run it locally

Planned features:

* Integrate Eleven Labs & other TTS services to enable full hands-free conversation

* Implement LangChain and/or plugins

* Integrate more ASR services that allow for streaming

I’d love for you to try it out and hear your feedback!
