Sophia NLU Voice Assistant - Last call for beta testers

Sophia is an on device Rust based natural language understanding engine, a conversation agent that offers the fluidity of a LLM without the compute. Requires only 180MB or RAM, handles multiple intents, contains 11 personalities, does not connect to the internet and never calls home.

The built in Assist is rather rigid, local LLMs don't work well unless you have a large GPU and model, and nobody wants to send their messages over the wire to big tech.

Detailss, demo and your free copy at: https://nlu.to/ha/

Large contextual awareness upgrade released: https://nlu.to/r/ha_v10100

I'm literally going to close out beta testing in about 36 hours, so thought I'd be nice and offer to the community one last time. If you want a free copy, fill out that beta tester form, it's yours for life including upgrades, you'll never be asked for a dollar, and Sophia doesn't connect to the internet. If you'd like to support my work by waiting until beta testing is over, that would be wonderful
