AI product Open source
Persona is an open-source, cross-platform desktop character that gives voice conversations an animated visual identity. It listens locally to a selected application's playback process rather than the microphone, using PipeWire playback-stream capture on Linux, WASAPI process-loopback capture on Windows, and a Core Audio process tap on macOS. Imported VRM character models switch between idle and speaking animations, with support for custom VRMA actions, model libraries, click-through desktop-pet behavior, and a local MCP server. Persona does not save audio, produce speech, transcribe content, or send audio over the network. It is distributed as an AppImage or DEB on Linux, an NSIS installer on Windows, and DMG or ZIP packages on macOS.

An open-source cross-platform desktop app that gives real-time voice conversations an expressive animated 3D character. It listens to application voice output and animates a VRM avatar locally without capturing the microphone or sending audio elsewhere.
