DIY Handheld AI Chatbot runs on a Raspberry Pi 2 Zero, and costs around $120 to make - Yanko Design
Briefly

AI chatbots are still confined to smartphones, limiting their potential for independence. Companies attempting to create dedicated AI devices often failed, delivering disappointing experiences and high costs. The Whisplay AI Chatbot, built on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, offers a refreshing alternative by enabling users to build their own AI assistant. This DIY project provides a sense of ownership, customization, and insight into how the technology works, standing in contrast to expensive, proprietary solutions that do not meet user needs.
The AI chatbot hasn't managed to break through the walls of your phone into something a little more independent. It's still hopelessly tethered to your mobile.
Companies like Humane and Rabbit promised revolutionary AI interaction but often delivered tethered experiences, questionable functionality, and recurring subscription fees.
The Whisplay AI Chatbot offers something profoundly different: the satisfaction of building a capable, pocket-sized AI assistant with your own hands.
The Raspberry Pi Zero 2W provides the processing muscle needed for a responsive AI experience, proving that you do not need a high-end device.
