Show HN: Call John Cena and Guy Raz AI Clones
I moved to another country and found it difficult to stay in touch with my best friend due to the significant time difference. Both of us were busy with work and higher education, making it nearly impossible to match our schedules. Missing my friend and feeling isolated in a new country, I decided to create an AI version of him. This turned out to be a complex task, so I started by replicating famous people to explore the technology further.
What the Project Does:
Our project creates AI versions of real people using data sourced from platforms like YouTube. Written entirely in Python, we developed scripts to process this data, enabling a Large Language Model (LLM) to mimic individuals as closely as possible. We use ElevenLabs to replicate voices and Twilio to initiate phone calls.
Feature Update:
We are currently developing a new version where users can create AI versions of their favorite celebrities by simply pasting YouTube links. This one-click solution aims to make the process seamless and user-friendly.
Technical Details:
One of the biggest challenges was writing a script that formats raw data into a structure that the LLM can understand and execute accurately. We experimented with different approaches, including running LLMs locally (using LLaMA) and fine-tuning models, but these methods often lacked accuracy. Ultimately, we devised our own approach to achieve better results.
