2026-02-08 - GLaDOS Voice Bot Setup

What Happened

• Discussed GLaDOS project structure - it's a multi-agent voice assistant with:

  • Parakeet ASR for speech recognition (excellent, low latency)
  • Kokoro TTS with custom GLaDOS voice
  • Autonomy loop for proactive speech (no wake words)
  • Subagents (emotion, memory, news, weather) that write to shared slots
  • FastVLM for vision-based scene understanding
  • MCP tools for extensibility (Home Assistant, system info, etc.)

• Corey wants a Discord voice bot that's always available in a voice channel

• Existing bot at /home/admin/.openclaw/workspace/discord-voice-bot/ was clunky

• Decision: Clean restart with simpler architecture
