Kids could talk to it or type with the buttons to learn and get AI help with things they might not have access to.The AI here is inspired by Pewdiepies Odysseus.I'm looking to do these kinds of projects for companies and learn more hand-on about machine learning and AI Engineering, if this is something you would be interested…
