🧠 DRIA – Deep Research and Intelligence Agent

A local-first voice assistant that multitasks like no other.

---

🎙️ Talk to DRIA like a friend.

While she silently conducts deep research in the background.

Imagine asking your assistant to research a technical topic —
and casually switching to talk about lunch — without breaking flow.

🚀 What Makes DRIA Different?

Most assistants either:

• Go silent while they "think"
• Or give you surface-level responses fast

DRIA does both.

• 🧠 Performs deep research using Firecrawl (in a Docker container)
• 🔍 Uses Perplexica for quick, AI-powered local web searches
• 🗣️ Keeps chatting with you in real-time using Mistral AI (3.1 small) via Ollama
• 🎧 Fully voice-enabled via Faster-Whisper STT & Kokoro-82M TTS
• 🧩 Built on LiveKit Voice Agent + custom scripts
• 🔒 100% local and private – no data ever leaves your machine
