Voice chat with Claude in isiZulu, powered by Lelapa AI's Vulavula # vulavula-claude-chat A voice chat with Claude in **isiZulu**, powered by Lelapa AI's Vulavula for transcription and translation. Speak isiZulu in the browser → Vulavula transcribes → Vulavula translates to English → Claude replies → Vulavula translates back to isiZulu. Multi-turn, chat-style UI. ## Run locally ```bash python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt cp .env.example .env # fill in VULAVULA_API_TOKEN and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY python app.py ``` Requires `ffmpeg` on the PATH (browser records webm/opus; Vulavula wants wav). Open . ## Deploy to Fly.io ```bash brew install flyctl fly auth login fly launch --no-deploy --copy-config --name vulavula-claude-chat fly secrets set VULAVULA_API_TOKEN=... ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=... fly deploy ``` The Dockerfile installs `ffmpeg` and serves the app with gunicorn on port 8080. `fly.toml` is set to `auto_stop_machines = "stop"` so it scales to zero when idle. ## Pieces - `POST api.lelapa.ai` with `lang_code=zul`, header `X-CLIENT-TOKEN` - `POST api.lelapa.ai` with `zul_Latn` ↔ `eng_Latn` - Anthropic SDK, model `claude-opus-4-7`
