AI conversation

Quaddle's AI core board supports two AI conversation solutions: TuyaOpen and Xiaozhi. Both are open-source software architectures and share the following characteristics: the ESP32 can be used as a voice and sensing terminal; complex, large-scale model inference is usually performed in the cloud or on a self-built server; both also support MCP, enabling dialogue models to access real device capabilities. We will also open-source our implementation code to facilitate learning and improvement for everyone.

Solution	Core Advantages
TuyaOpen	Comprehensive integration with smart home ecosystem AI hardware; complete capabilities including Tuya Cloud, device authentication, network configuration, OTA updates, App integration, and Google Home/Alexa; supports multiple platforms such as ESP32, Tuya T series, and Raspberry Pi; comprehensive multimodal capabilities including voice, camera/image/file interaction; device MCP allows smart agents to directly adjust volume, take photos, and switch modes.
Xiaozhi	More suitable for DIY, prototyping, learning ESP32 voice AI, and highly customizable projects; MIT open source; rich community and compatible boards; mature voice interaction loop for ESP32, including wake words, real-time dialogue, screen expressions, camera, and power management; users can choose or deploy a server and extend smart home, search, and computer control capabilities through MCP.
