🤖 LUCY A.I. — Voice Command Assistant

LUCY A.I. is a modular, Python-based voice command assistant inspired by futuristic AI assistants such as JARVIS.

The project combines speech recognition, neural text-to-speech, system monitoring, application control, web navigation, media playback, and voice notes into a single desktop assistant.

LUCY is designed with a modular architecture so that new capabilities can be added as the project evolves.

• Converts speech into commands using Google Speech Recognition.
• Uses automatic microphone noise calibration for improved recognition.
• Responds using Microsoft's Edge Neural TTS through edge-tts.
• Uses the en-US-AriaNeural voice for natural-sounding responses.

• Automatically falls back to Windows SAPI5 / pyttsx3 when an internet connection is unavailable.
• Allows LUCY to remain functional even when neural TTS cannot be accessed.

LUCY can monitor basic system information using psutil, including:

• CPU usage
• RAM usage
• Battery percentage
• Battery status

LUCY can interact with commonly used online services:

• Google Search
• YouTube
• Reddit
• GitHub
• ChatGPT
• Gmail

It can also open and launch media searches through voice commands.

Launch common Windows applications using voice commands:

• Notepad
• Calculator
• Visual Studio Code
• File Explorer
• Command Prompt

• Record quick notes using voice commands.
• Store notes for later use.
• Read saved notes back through LUCY.

• LUCY can enter a standby/sleep state.
• Wake-up detection allows the assistant to become active again.
• Provides a more natural always-ready assistant experience.

LUCY also includes simple entertainment commands such as:

• Tell a joke
• Flip a coin
• Roll a die

git clone https://github.com/RipperdocNiladri/Project-LUCY.git
cd Project-LUCY

python -m venv .venv

Activate it on Windows:

.venv\Scripts\activate

Install all required packages using:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Or install them manually:

pip install SpeechRecognition PyAudio edge-tts pygame pyttsx3 wikipedia psutil requests

If installing PyAudio fails with build errors on your Python version, you may need an alternative installation method or a compatible PyAudio wheel.

One possible approach is:

pip install pipwin
pipwin install pyaudio

Note: pipwin compatibility can vary with newer Python versions. If it doesn't work, use a PyAudio package/wheel compatible with your Python version.

After installing the dependencies, run:

python lucy.py

LUCY will initialize the microphone and begin listening for voice commands.

Here are some example commands that LUCY can understand:

Note: Available commands may change as new features are added to the project.

A typical project structure may look like:

The project is intended to evolve into a more modular architecture as additional assistant capabilities are implemented.

LUCY is an ongoing project. Planned improvements may include:

• 🧠 More advanced conversational intelligence
• 🎙️ Improved speech recognition
• ⚡ Faster voice response generation
• 🖥️ Dedicated graphical desktop interface
• 🧩 Plugin-based command system
• 🏠 Smart-device and IoT integration
• 🔐 Local/user-specific commands
• 📊 Advanced system monitoring
• 🤖 More natural assistant interactions
• 🚀 Full-featured desktop AI assistant

The goal of LUCY A.I. is to evolve from a simple voice-command program into a full desktop AI assistant capable of interacting naturally with the computer and helping with everyday tasks.

The project is being developed incrementally, with each version introducing new capabilities and improving the overall assistant experience.
