Show HN: I built an app that lets you create and chat with 3D AI characters (heyastrocyte.com)
Hello everyone! I'm excited to announce the launch of Astrocyte, a web app that allows you to create and interact with 3D AI characters.
Whether it's video game heroes, anime characters, political figures, or even that obscure NPC from your favorite RPG, you can bring them to life and have a chat with them on Astrocyte!
Many users have already begun crafting their own characters on Astrocyte, and the conversations have been incredibly entertaining. I would be thrilled if you could give it a try and share your honest feedback. Thank you!

The idea is basically an AI twitch streamer, you talk in chat and they respond. In this case it's AI Naruto!
Thanks for the feedback! I'll put together a short demo as well.
If you’re willing to share of course. I think many HN readers would be interested to know how “kicking the tires” traffic on an AI product like this compares to a traditional web app cost wise.
Things are moving at a dizzying pace. I've been in tech for over 10 years, and went through many fads and trends, and had no problem keeping up.
LLM is challenging my comfort zone in an exciting way and I can't wait for the future.
Also, removing the text from the input after submit would be nice so that user doesn't have to erase it before typing the next prompt.
Good luck!

It should be relatively easy to create models in blender and then use them there. Also, if anyone wishes to use VRM models on the project - should be as simple as importing those models in blender, and then export them as a .glb file. I created a branch recently with some minor code changes to support this:
