Cutting-edge projects in artificial intelligence, robotics, and embedded systems
From autonomous robots to neural networks - building the future of technology
ANU – GenAI Powered AI Companion
Introduce ANU, a custom GenAI powered AI companion designed as a virtual AI girlfriend. Built with a personalized large language model and integrated MCP server, ANU can understand and respond to all kinds of inputs—even (my vulval English) and casual Banglish—with emotional awareness and natural flow. She’s not just smart, she’s emotionally intelligent. ANU picks up on mood, offers motivation, and keeps conversations warm and supportive. From typo tolerance to mood-based replies, this project blends GenAI, affective computing, and real-time conversational design.
