This Raspberry Pi ghost talks to trick-or-treaters using AI

Raspberry Pi.

It's not too late to put together a spooky Raspberry Pi-powered Halloween project, and we've got a cool one to share today that's sure to inspire your inner maker. This one comes to us from maker and developer Nathan from NathanBuildsDIY, who's created a really cool Pi-powered AI ghost named Casper that talks to trick-or-treaters.

Much like the ghost he's named after, this ghost is light-hearted and friendly instead of scary. According to Nathan, the idea was to create an interactive ghost who could talk back and forth with trick-or-treaters as they approached the porch. Casper can detect when they're nearby and uses AI to come up with all sorts of conversational quips, from answers to questions to Halloween-themed jokes.
