🧠 H.A.AI.E — Help Against Anxiety (Experimental) / WAICY project

Local Emotional Companion — Private • Lightweight • Humanized

🌱 Overview

H.A.AI.E is an experimental AI companion designed to help people overcome social anxiety and loneliness — locally, without internet access, and without monetizing personal data.

It’s not meant to replace human interaction, but to help users relearn communication and emotional expression in a safe, private, and non-commercial way.

• 🧩 Lightweight and accessible: Optimized for "low-resource" systems. (16gb vram recommanded)
• 🧘‍♂️ Emotional support: Non-judgmental presence to help practice communication/chat bot with a personnality
