5 use cases

  • Run a private group chat with AI personas

    Run a fully local multi-persona chat on your own llama.cpp server with no internet or login.

    View prompt
    Use the TalkWithMe repo to start a local chat at http://localhost:8000 against a llama.cpp server at <llm-base-url>. Create one room with the personas Alex and Luna, send the message <test-message>, and report the persona replies. Verify that the room's messages are still listed after a page reload.

  • Hear and speak to personas with TTS and STT

    Add spoken replies from a TTS server and voice prompts through a Whisper-style STT server.

    View prompt
    Use the TalkWithMe repo to configure TTS at <tts-base-url> and STT at <stt-base-url> in settings.yaml, then start the app. Send the spoken test phrase <test-phrase> and report the transcribed text and whether a persona audio reply was produced. Verify that the transcription matches the phrase.

  • Point Talk with Me at a remote LLM with an API key

    Connect the chat app to a hosted OpenAI-compatible LLM while keeping the key out of settings.yaml.

    View prompt
    Use the TalkWithMe repo to connect to the remote LLM at <llm-base-url> using the key in llm_api_key. Send the test message <test-message> and report the reply and the startup log line saying whether a key is configured. Verify that the key value itself does not appear in the log or the UI.

  • Let personas call tools from MCP servers

    Enable tool calls so personas can fetch web pages or run queries through Streamable HTTP MCP servers.

    View prompt
    Use the TalkWithMe repo to configure MCP server <mcp-server-url> in settings.yaml, enable tool calls for the persona <persona-name>, and restart the app. Ask the persona to use the tool on <test-input> and report the tool call shown in the chat. Verify that the tool result appears in the reply.

  • Build a persona library by cloning and renaming

    Clone a stock persona, rename it, and keep the on-disk folder matched to the new name.

    View prompt
    Use the TalkWithMe repo to clone the persona Alex, rename the clone to <new-persona-name>, and update its description to <description>. Report the new directory name under Personas/ and the contents of its prompt.md. Verify that the directory name matches the new name or that a name: line records it.
