Chat NHM
Crafting a conversational portfolio
Overview
Chat NHM will be an AI-powered portfolio using voice cloning to create personalized, interactive experiences for hiring managers and collaborators.
Where: Personal Project / October 2025
My Role: As an AI enthusiast, I'm experimenting with OpenAI APIs, Eleven Labs voice cloning, and best practices for designing AI-driven experiences.
Key features
Voice-cloned AI that sounds like me
Natural explanations of background, skills, and case studies
Dynamic visual content that syncs with conversation (coming soon)
Important considerations
Transparent about AI ("This is an AI-powered experience...")
Easy access to the real me for deeper conversations
Privacy-conscious, accessible, performant
Cost management for voice API calls
Content plan
✅ Generate MVP voice clone with 10 short, high-quality-recordings
✅ Write comprehensive case study content
🕓 Record more detailed voice samples (15-30 min)
🕓 Create knowledge base with projects, skills, philosophy
Tools I'm using
ElevenLabs for voice cloning
OpenAI with custom prompts for LLM backend
RAG system and vector databsae for accurate project retrieval
Split-screen UI: conversation + visual content
Experience design
Entry points: "Tell me about yourself," "Show me your work," open questions
Visual-voice sync (voice triggers galleries, prototypes, diagrams)
Context detection and personalization
Graceful fallbacks with option to contact the real me
