Coding in the Cabana is a series where I attempt challenges from my garden cabana in Brooklyn, NY. In this episode, I code a visualization of the Maurer Rose pattern in JavaScript (p5.js).
Challenges
Featured Challenge:
#188 — Voice Chatbot
In this coding challenge, I build a conversational voice chatbot entirely in the browser with p5.js. I combine three pieces: speech-to-text with OpenAI's Whisper model, text-to-speech with Kokoro TTS, and a "brain" for the bot. I also explore the transformers.js pipeline API and the Web Audio API. For the bot's brain, I start with a simple ELIZA-style therapist, then incorporate a RiveScript number-guessing game, and finally a local LLM.
