What it does
Speech in, in-character reply out, spoken through TTS — VOICEVOX for Japanese, Silero for a dozen other languages — with optional Twitch chat reading and VTube Studio hookup. Japanese voices carry per-character credit requirements you must honour when streaming, tokens burn continuously across a long broadcast, and you need a way to cut it off mid-sentence because what it says is on you. No licence file was found, so monetised use needs the author's word.
Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.

AI-Waifu-Vtuber FAQ
- Is AI-Waifu-Vtuber free?

- It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
- Does AI-Waifu-Vtuber work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use AI-Waifu-Vtuber commercially?
- The project does not state a clear licence, so commercial use cannot be confirmed here. Check the official page or ask the author before using it at work.
