Vaani — Multilingual AI Chatbot

Overview

Co-built with Ahaskar: a voice-first AI chatbot for Indian-language customer support. OpenAI's LLM + speech APIs behind a Flask microservice backend, with a speech-to-text → intent → text-to-speech pipeline across 5+ Indian languages. Shelved mid-build after a clear-eyed market-fit check — in the Indian SME market we were targeting, a human customer-support agent costs less per conversation than bleeding-edge LLM inference. Keeping it listed as a reminder that the right call is sometimes to stop, not ship.
