Set Up Linly-Talker AI Avatar (Spiritual Voice Assistant) on Cloud Server -- 2

Hi,
I’m looking for an experienced freelancer with a strong background in AI voice/avatar systems — preferably someone familiar with Linly-Talker or similar projects (e.g., SadTalker, GPT-SoVITS, Whisper).

The goal is to set up a real-time AI avatar for spiritual guidance — a talking virtual master that can listen and reply using natural voice and facial animation.
This will be part of a larger spiritual mobile/web app project.

Tasks:

Deploy Linly-Talker on a cloud GPU server (e.g. RunPod, Vast.ai, etc.)

Install and configure:

Whisper (speech-to-text)

GPT logic (via local model or API)

TTS engine (e.g., So-VITS, Bark, or your suggestion)

SadTalker or other lipsync/mimic tool


Integrate a custom avatar image and custom voice if possible

Ensure a working Gradio interface or REST API is exposed

Optional: screen sharing (AnyDesk/Zoom/Meet) during setup for collaboration


Requirements:

Proven experience with AI voice/character pipelines

Familiarity with Python, Conda, and GPU-based environments

Bonus: experience with spiritual or wellness-related projects

Ability to explain setup steps clearly


Deliverables:

Fully working Linly-Talker system on my cloud server

One custom avatar ready to speak and respond

Simple documentation for restart and future adjustments


Collaboration:

Transparent and friendly communication

Screen sharing welcome during setup

I’m open to further collaboration for training and personalizing the avatar once the system is up and running


Budget:
Open to reasonable offers depending on your experience and speed.
This setup should take approximately 1–2 hours for someone familiar with these tools.

Please include in your response:

Thank you – I look forward to bringing this spiritual avatar to life with your help.
