Hey everyone 333,

I wanted to share an open-source project called ProxyFace. If you're interacting with LLMs and want a more engaging experience, this adds a real-time, pixel-art avatar that reacts to the AI's output with actual emotions—and it runs entirely on your own machine.

Your AI now has a face, voice, and ears, but with zero telemetry and zero cloud dependencies for inference.

✨ What makes it special:

100% Local Emotion Brain: Runs a highly optimized 4MB TinyBERT model at 60ms via WebGPU/WASM. The face reacts to the AI's text (embarrassed, curious, delighted, etc.) without hitting any external APIs.

Hands-Free Voice Interaction: Hold Alt+T to speak and release to send. The AI replies and reacts, making it awesome for language learning or just natural conversation.

On-Device Eye Tracking: Uses MediaPipe locally so the avatar’s pupils follow your gaze. Video never leaves your computer.

Customizable Pixel Art: Comes with 40+ characters.…
