Smart Kiosk Assistant

GitHub Readme

This application is part of the Voice Enabled Interactions reference architecture for retail.

Smart Kiosk Assistant is a voice-first, retrieval-augmented kiosk stack for retail, Quick Service Restaurant (QSR), and similar customer-facing deployments. The browser captures microphone audio, the stack transcribes it, retrieves a grounded answer from a local knowledge base, and plays a synthesized reply. All inference runs locally on Intel CPU or GPU via OpenVINO.
