This project is an unofficial, heavily customized version of qFlipper, the desktop app used to manage a Flipper Zero device (a small handheld tool popular with hackers and hobbyists for testing radio signals, RFID tags, and similar things). The main addition here is LOTEI, a chatty AI dolphin character built into the app that runs completely on your own computer, with no cloud service and no API keys required. Everything, including the AI itself, runs locally through a tool called Ollama. LOTEI can read files from your Flipper's SD card, save scripts onto it, and even press the device's buttons to move through its menus, all using the same connection qFlipper already uses to talk to the device. The assistant also talks out loud using a local text to speech engine called Piper, with several voice options you can cycle through, and it falls back to Windows' built in voice if Piper is not installed. On top of that, the whole interface gets a full pink redesign, plus a live color editor that lets you recolor every part of the UI while it runs, and a small window that mirrors your Flipper's screen in real time so you can watch what LOTEI is doing to the device. Setting it up takes some patience. On Windows, you need Qt, Microsoft's build tools, and Ollama with a specific AI model downloaded, roughly 4.7 gigabytes, which runs better with a graphics card but also works on a plain CPU, just more slowly. Linux users can either build from source with a list of Qt development packages or use the ready-made AppImage that comes with each release. This is aimed at Flipper Zero owners who already know their way around building software from source and want a friendlier, AI-assisted, private way to manage their device, rather than developers building something new from scratch.
