DIY-Astra

DIY-Astra is a Flask application that utilizes computer vision and natural language processing to create an interactive AI assistant. The application captures live video feed from a webcam, analyzes the captured images using the Google AI API, and generates text responses based on the visual input. The generated text responses are then converted to audio using the ElevenLabs API and played back to the user.

Features

• Live video feed capture from the webcam
• Image analysis using the Google AI API
• Text generation based on visual input
• Text-to-speech conversion using the ElevenLabs API
• Real-time audio playback of generated responses
• Web-based user interface for interaction and control

Requirements

To run the DIY-Astra application, you need to have the following dependencies installed:

• Python 3.x
• Flask
• Flask-SocketIO
• OpenCV (cv2)
• Pydub
• Google Generative AI Client Library
• Pillow (PIL)
• Requests

You also need to have valid API keys for the following services:

• Google AI API (GOOGLE_API_KEY)
• ElevenLabs API (ELEVENLABS_API_KEY)

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/diy-astra.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd diy-astra

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Set up the API keys:

   • Replace GOOGLE_API_KEY in app.py with your Google AI API key.
   • Replace ELEVENLABS_API_KEY in app.py with your ElevenLabs API key.

5. Run the application:
