Project Harmony.AI Website & Youtube Channel launched!
Hi there Patreons, I wish you a happy new year 2024! 🥳️
It has been a while since our last update here on Patreon; a LOT has happened within the past 5 months, however somehow I never came around to also do an update post here; everything was always posted in Discord instead.
Nevertheless, today is qute a big day for Project Harmony, since we're launching our brand new youtube channel today, together with our first official Tech Demo, showcasing Harmony Link's capabilities for real-time conversation with AI characters.
While there's still a lot of additional features we plan adding, the last few months were kinda happening with pulled parking break; very few new features were actually added, and focus was mainly on fixing issues with the existing functionalities and simplifying setup.
Most of you probably know that I'm doing 99% of the work for this project, and all of that in my free time. So if real life issues strike - which they did a lot in the last year(s) and months for me unfortunately, I can't make as much progress as I wish for.
Nevertheless, I have a couple of reasons to be carefully optimistic for 2024!
Let me explain why:
Today we're launching our Youtube Channel! Together with our first official Tech demo, which I'll highlight a little further down in this post. I hope this will help increase general awareness of Project Harmony, and potentially also lead to more direct support.
Our official Project Website has finally launched.
A lot of useability problems and technical issues with Harmony Link have been fixed over the past couple of months. Also, a variety of Backend Engines have been added, which means I can now focus on the really exciting features - first of all, Character Movement.
Harmony Speech V2, which will support multiple languages and a far higher level of emotional tone in AI voices, is now in training, and therefore basically around the corner.
At least for me, all these are reasons to be excited for the upcoming months, so let's go!! 🚀
Starting with our Tech Demo on Youtube - I guess it might be a little boring for non-tech audiences, however, it gives a good introduction into what this project is about, and what the current capabilities of our Harmony Link software are:
Add Human-like AI Characters to ANY Game - BETA Tech Demo #1 - Project Harmony AI
Status of the Beta
The last time I posted here, this project was still a closed beta due to some technical limitations. However, by now this project has become a full open beta, and everyone who's interested is invited to try it out. So if you want to use our current software to have realtime conversations with AIs, you'll find everything you need here:
Next Development Steps
As already mentioned, the focus for the next software development iteration will be on Character Movement. I already did some research and have some Ideas how this can be achieved in a basic but reliable way. So stay tuned for the next updates.
However, running a project like this doesn't just involve software - If I want Project Harmony to be successful, it's also crucial to do some networking and collaboration with people and other projects which work on similar technologies. Therefore, I'll be going to put out my feelers to potential collaboration partners this year. With our new Youtube Channel, a proper Website, a working prototype and our existing partnerships and know-how in Software-Development and AI Technologies, we're finally in the position to meet at eye level with potential partners. I already have a few candidates on my mind which I want to approach here; in case there's going to be an agreement of some kind, I'll keep you guys posted. 🤠
That's it for now. Thanks for reading, and as always, feel free to join our Discord and leave a comment. Support through Patreon is also highly appreciated.
your Racer2021
