I Built a Voice AI That Made a Real RC Car (At 16)

4•nakstup•8h ago
Hey Hacker News!

I'm Shourya, a 16-year-old developer from India. Over the past few months, I've been working on Miliana — a JARVIS-style voice-controlled AI assistant that I built entirely from scratch.

She can: • Code in Python, Arduino, and web tech • Draw circuits and sketches • Chat with ChatGPT and Gemini • Control apps like YouTube, Spotify, and PowerPoint • Build UI clones, play music, and more — all via natural voice

Just recently, I pushed her one step further by letting her control and build a real remote-controlled car. She drew the sketch, wrote the Arduino/ESP code, set up the Flask backend, and created a frontend site — all in one continuous workflow.

Main Demo (AI skills overview): https://youtu.be/TORqB4gTqUM Car Project (end-to-end build): https://youtu.be/ROkvzCi-ueU

I'm working toward making Miliana fully offline with LLM-level performance on local hardware like RTX 4090 — and your feedback, suggestions, or just a view would mean a lot.

Happy to answer any technical questions here!
