Gemma 4 E2B writes the replies, Kokoro speaks and Whisper listens, all on your GPU via WebGPU. No install, no account, and nothing you type is sent to a server. Free. Needs Chrome or Edge 137+; the 2 GB chat model downloads once.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I built Local Character because every character chat app I tried sends each message to a server and keeps it there. Here the AI runs in your browser tab on your own GPU (WebGPU): Gemma 4 E2B writes the replies, Kokoro speaks them and Whisper listens. No install, no account, and your chats stay in your browser's own storage. You can check that yourself: open the network panel while you chat. Honest trade-offs: it's a small 2B model, so replies are simpler than the big cloud models; it needs Chrome or Edge 137+; and your first chat downloads about 2 GB once. Try one of the 55 characters or make your own, and tell me which ones work best and what you'd want next.
