The speech of Nova in the presentation video are her own words, generated after asking her to introduce herself clearly with the fast mode activated.

NOVA IA ASSISTANT

is an intelligent voice assistant that combines AI with direct action capabilities. While full customization will be available later, the current Beta 1.0 offers a solid foundation designed for simplicity and ease of use and installation.

The original language of the project is FRENCH. We will soon add an English version directly inside Nova and update the presentation video accordingly.

Key Features

• Local Voice Assistant: Operates independently without relying on cloud services for command recognition.
• System Actions: Execute commands such as opening applications, writing text, conducting web searches, and accessing the configuration interface.
• Customizable Conversation Modes: Choose between quick, normal, or verbose (story mode) interactions.
• Integrated Web Interface: Easily configure the assistant via http://127.0.0.1:5000.
• Privacy-Focused: No voice data is sent without consent; AI and TTS services are activated only with API keys.

Technologies Used

• Python 3.8+
• Flask (local web server)
• SpeechRecognition (Speech-to-Text)
• Pygame (audio playback)
• Groq SDK (generative AI)
• ElevenLabs API (natural speech synthesis)
• PyAutoGUI (keyboard/mouse automation)
• Subprocess & Tempfile (process and temporary file management)
