In 2026, it is an open-source project you can run on your own hardware.</p> <p>Linly-Talker is a comprehensive open-source digital avatar conversational system developed by the Kedreamix team. It stitches together the entire pipeline of conversational AI — speech recognition, language understanding, text generation, speech synthesis, and talking head animation — into a single, configurable system. Give it a portrait photo and a microphone, and Linly-Talker produces a real-time interactive avatar that speaks with synchronized lip movements, natural head motion, and expressive facial animation.</p>
