Overview & Scope

Shankhnaad AI is a full-stack real-time voice assistant dedicated to spiritual wisdom for Krishna Consciousness Society. The frontend is built on Next.js 15, offering secure Supabase authentication, a persistent conversation-history sidebar, and PhonePe subscription billing. The backend operates as a containerized Python LiveKit worker that coordinates speech-to-text, LLM generation, and text-to-speech through Azure OpenAI. It features embeddings-based RAG retrieval over Bhagavad-gita verses hosted on an Azure VM, alongside interactive Japa tracking and dynamic Vaishnava calendar utilities.
