AIRI

Moeru AI
open source / Overall score: 3.0

AIRI is a self-hosted AI companion platform from Moeru AI. It pairs a character-driven chat persona with speech synthesis and recognition, vision input, persistent memory and MCP tool access, and ships in three form factors: a browser build, a desktop build and a mobile build. It connects to many model providers through the xsAI client library.

MIT, an OSI-approved license with no appended terms, covers AIRI's full public source. The repository and README describe no enterprise, paid, or gated tier.

Adoption

3 low confidence
3.0

AIRI ships only as browser, desktop and mobile builds; the npm package named airi is an unrelated stub with no repository field, so it does not count as a distribution channel. That leaves GitHub stars as the only adoption signal, and a star marks attention rather than use.

Capability

3 medium confidence
3.0

Airi is in the same companion front-end class as SillyTavern. Its modality breadth - voice in and out, vision, three form factors - is unusually wide for that class, but it organizes a character conversation rather than providing the retrieval, tool and document surface that places AnythingLLM and Open WebUI a step ahead.
