SAFA: A Real-Time Edge AI Voice Assistant for Pilgrims Using RAG
SAFAA is a real-time edge AI voice assistant designed for pilgrims in highly crowded environments. The system implements a complete voice interaction pipeline: speech-to-text, retrieval using a RAG framework grounded in authenticated Islamic sources, and text-to-speech generation. Deployed on a Raspberry Pi for on-device processing, and ensures low-latency. This architecture combines edge deployment, multilingual support, and domain-specific trustworthiness to enhance the overall pilgrimage experience.
