Sirena — chat window with model choice, avatar and voice control (sample view)

01 THE PROBLEM

AI assistants usually live in a chat window and stop at talking. Sirena is an experiment in the other direction: an assistant you see and hear, in the Dutch spoken here, that can actually do things on your computer.

02 WHAT IT DOES

Visible and audible: An avatar on your desktop, with a Flemish voice. You talk to her, she talks back.
Local brain: The language model runs on your own machine. Your conversations and files never leave your computer.
Real actions: Integrations to open files, launch programs, look up information and carry out tasks — with confirmation where it belongs.
Extensible: Add new skills as modules, so Sirena grows with what you need.

03 WHAT I LEARNED

Voice and avatar instantly make an assistant feel ‘more real’ — and so it gets judged more strictly. Latency, reliability and clear confirmations matter more than yet another feature.
