Jinny AI

Voice & speech-enabled robot interface powered by ChatGPT + ElevenLabs

Jinny AI cover image
Jinny is a proof of concept for a voice and speech-enabled robot interface powered by ChatGPT and ElevenLabs that achieves human-like conversation.

Background
Traditionally, interactions between humans and robots have been rigid and structured—humans had to master specific commands while robots could only respond within narrow boundaries. Jinny explores a more natural interface.
Result
We developed an advanced robotic interface capable of listening to spoken language, comprehending it, and formulating natural responses.
Process
We brainstormed the robot and interface design remotely, then prototyped a simple system capable of natural conversation and basic movement. After integrating the components in-person over several days, we showcased Jinny internally and later presented learnings to the Northwest Robotics Alliance.
