Aiden is a next-generation voice assistant built specifically for Windows that combines cutting-edge AI with practical automation. Unlike generic assistants, Aiden deeply integrates with your PC, understanding your installed applications, running processes, and system state in real-time.
What Makes Aiden Special:
•System-Aware AI: Knows what apps you have installed and what's running
•Multi-Modal Activation: Wake word, hotkeys, or dashboard button
•Smart Home Ready: ESP32 integration for IoT device control
•Conversation Memory: Remembers context across conversations
•Unique Dashboard: Real-time Gemini Live-style interface with wave animations
•Highly Optimized: Smart caching, lazy loading, minimal resource usage
•Privacy-Focused: Local processing where possible, configurable data storage
Advanced Voice Recognition:
•Wake Word Detection: High-accuracy Porcupine engine (2.5x better than alternatives)
•Speech-to-Text: Vosk-based local STT (privacy-friendly, no cloud required)
•Text-to-Speech: Fast, natural-sounding Edge TTS
•Multi-Language Support: Configurable voice and language options
Intelligent PC Control:
•Launch any installed application by name
•Close/kill running processes intelligently
•System commands (lock, shutdown, restart, sleep)
