 "title": "Give a Claude Code voice agent a live face",
 "page_title": "How to give a Claude Code voice agent a live face with AI Visualizer",
 "summary": "Point the visualizer at a backtalk signal folder so the face follows the real conversation.",
 "who": "A developer running a voice agent through Claude Code with backtalk who wants the agent to have a visible face during live sessions.",
 "problem": "A voice agent running in the background gives no visual feedback about whether it is listening, thinking or speaking.",
 "outcome": "The chosen face idles, listens, thinks and speaks in sync with the real voice conversation, and the agent name appears on the chip and in every HUD.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `git clone https://github.com/jaredrhod/ai-visualizer` and `cd ai-visualizer`",
  "Copy `ai-visualizer.json.example` to `ai-visualizer.json`, then set `name` to your agent's name and `face` to the face the root URL should open (inferred, check the README)",
  "Set `bus_dir` in `ai-visualizer.json` to your backtalk folder, or set `signals_dir` in backtalk's config to this folder",
  "Run `./run.sh`, restart backtalk, then say something to your agent and watch the face respond"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the ai-visualizer repo, copy ai-visualizer.json.example to ai-visualizer.json, set name to <agent name> and bus_dir to <backtalk folder>, then run ./run.sh. Expected output: the root URL opens the configured face. Verify that the .voice_state file in the bus folder changes between idle, listening, thinking and speaking during a spoken exchange.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Live voice sync only works when a voice line such as backtalk writes the three signal files, and the README says the visualizer is designed to pair with backtalk out of the box.",
