gavin-chan.co.uk — the workshop of Gavin
I build things that talk back, fight back, and remember.
Hi, I’m Gavin. This is my portfolio: the things I’ve made and the things I’m making — a voice-first AI companion with a face, and a tiny arena RPG that lives entirely in your browser. No install, no sign-in, no fluff.
What I’m building
Two flagship creations, both live. Everything else on this site is the road to them.
Face Chat
Not another chat box. Face Chat is a voice-first AI assistant with a face: it shows up on your screen as an animated head, listens to your voice, answers out loud in up to 19 languages, remembers what you told it, plans its own reminders, and now keeps working through specialists — a team behind the head — while it can also act on the web with a pair of hands of its own.
Ember & Iron
A tiny arena RPG that runs entirely in your browser — no install, no sign-in. Fight waves, level up, pick your loot, and face a boss at the end of every forest. Your run saves to this browser, so you can close the tab and come back later. It’s on season 2 right now.
