JackGPT was amazing in 2023 but there were two things I wanted to do with him in 2024. First I wanted to give him a design upgrade – make him taller and more spooky looking. Still working on that.
Second, I wanted to reduce his latency – or the time it takes to process input from humans. Vapi.ai allows me to reduce Jack’s latency from about 7 seconds down to 1 second. Amazing!
I tested it by asking Jack the names of “those three kids in Nightmare Before Christmas”. I truly didn’t remember their names and this information was not included in his prompt. He gave me a correct, full response in less than two seconds. I then typed the same question into Google and it took just about the same amount of time.
What blows my mind about this is that in the 2 second time-frame, JackGPT was able to receive my audio input (the question), form an answer – in character – then pass it through ElevenLabs voice synthesis, and then perform/deliver the answer. We’re truly living in the future folks.
