Voxta Get started with Voxy
Install Voxy, point it at your Voxta server, and put a face on your character.
Voxy is the desktop avatar app for Voxta. It runs as a transparent overlay on your screen, loads any VRM model you give it, and turns your Voxta character into a real on-screen presence that talks, lipsyncs, and emotes in real time.
Voxy is currently in public beta. Expect frequent updates and the occasional rough edge.
Prerequisites
Voxy is a Voxta client — it doesn't run any AI on its own. Whatever you've configured on your Voxta Server (local llama.cpp, Voxta Cloud, ElevenLabs voices, etc.) is exactly what Voxy will use.
- A running Voxta Server. If you haven't installed one, start here.
- At least one character in Voxta you want to chat with.
- Windows 10 or 11. Voxy is Windows-only today.
Install Voxy
Download Voxy
Grab the latest build from the Voxta portal:
Download Voxy → portal.voxta.ai
You'll need to be signed in. The file is named something like Voxy-DesktopApp-Windows-v1.0.0-beta.23.zip.
Unzip somewhere easy to reach
Extract the zip to a folder you can find again — desktop, root of a drive, anywhere. You'll be dropping .vrm files into a subfolder later, so keep the path convenient.
Make sure Voxta Server is running
Start your Voxta Server (default port 5384). It's the same server that powers Voxta Talk in the browser — Voxy connects to it the same way.
Launch VoxyDesktopCompanion.exe
Double-click VoxyDesktopCompanion.exe in the unzipped folder.
Windows Defender SmartScreen may flag Voxy on first launch — Unity-built apps frequently trigger this. Click More info → Run anyway to allow it.
Verify the connection
When Voxy starts it scans for a local Voxta Server and connects automatically. The UI shows "Connected to Voxta" once it's linked up. Pick a character, hit Start New Chat, and you're talking.
