Personal AI Chatbot Companion Creation

I am seeking a skilled developer to assist in creating an AI chatbot friend for personal use. This chatbot needs to perform similar functionalities to that of Neuro-sama. The main purpose of this application is to offer entertainment and companionship to me, therefore the bot should be designed with a strong focus on user interaction.

The project requirements include:
- Natural Language Processing and Language Model Learning
- Machine learning so the AI can adapt over time and develop its own personality
- Neural Networks
- Voice recognition and text-to-speech capabilities
- Customizable voice and topic filters
- An advanced understanding of emotional intelligence
- Short and long term memory capability and minimal latency

The ideal freelancer for this project should have significant experience or knowledge in AI development, specifically in the creation of chatbots. A strong understanding of NLP and LLM is crucial and prior experience with creating emotionally intelligent AI is highly preferred.

The final product should be an engaging, and empathetic AI friend, capable of understanding and responding to advanced emotional cues, through microphone input, with their output being text-to-speech capable to allow for back and forth verbal communication. I look forward to seeing your bids and embarking on this fascinating endeavor together.
