Remember the movie HER? You talk to an AI like talking to a friend. It's not an assistant. It's your friend. You can just chat about anything, you can even interrupt while they're talking.
Well, now you can actually experience the same thing with Haru. It's fully open source and open weight. It's completely free to use forever.

And here's what the UI looks like. When you start the chat (which can continue up to 60 minutes) and turn on the microphone, haru introduces himself/herself and you just start chatting. You can even interrupt while haru is speaking, just like chatting with a human.
It is not perfect and has some quirks, but definitely worth trying out, really fascinating.
