# Pipecat Friday Agent ## Overview This skill provides a blueprint for building **F.R.I.D.A.Y.** (Replacement Integrated Digital Assistant Youth), a local voice assistant inspired by the tactical AI from the Iron Man films. It uses the **Pipecat** framework to orchestrate a low-latency pipeline: - **STT**: OpenAI Whisper (`whisper-1`) or `gpt-4o-transcribe` - **LLM**: Google Gemini 2.5 Flash (via a compatibility shim) - **TTS**: OpenAI TTS (`nova` voice) - **Transport**: Local Audio (Hardware Mic/Speakers) ## When to Use This Skill - Use when you want to build a real-time, conversational voice agent. - Use when working with the Pipecat framework for pipeline-based AI. - Use when you need to integrate multiple providers (Google and OpenAI) into a single voice loop. - Use when building Iron Man-themed or tactical-themed voice applications. ## How It Works ### Step 1: Install Dependencies You will need the Pipecat framework and its service providers installed: ```bash pip install pipecat-ai[openai,google,silero] python-dotenv ``` ### Step 2: Configure Environment Create a `.env` file with your API keys: ```env OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_google_key ``` ### Step

Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
