How Does Fireside.AI Work? 🤔

This chat application creates an interactive experience where you can have natural conversations with an AI version of Jonathan. Here's how it works:

The Brain 🧠

The system combines several AI technologies to create natural, context-aware responses:

1. Knowledge Base 📚

The system uses Pinecone, a vector database, to store and quickly retrieve relevant information about Jonathan. This includes his experiences, preferences, and professional background, allowing for contextually appropriate responses.

2. Text Generation 💭

OpenAI's GPT model processes your questions and generates responses using the retrieved context. This ensures answers are both relevant to your questions and accurate to Jonathan's perspective.

3. Voice Synthesis 🎙️

For desktop users, Resemble.ai transforms the text responses into spoken audio, using a voice model trained on Jonathan's speech patterns. Mobile users receive text-only responses for optimal performance.

📱 Note About Mobile Usage

When using a mobile device, the system automatically disables voice responses to ensure faster performance and better reliability. Desktop users will receive both text and voice responses.

Privacy & Security 🔒

All interactions are authenticated through Firebase to ensure secure access. The system maintains professional boundaries and is designed to provide relevant information while respecting privacy.
