wtf is peter-ai?

Peter is a free Windows application that acts like an AI audio engineer, helping people fix confusing sound problems on their PC without needing someone to remotely take over their computer. It is aimed at gamers, streamers, and everyday users who want their audio to sound right but do not want to dig through endless Windows settings menus to get there. The app works in two main ways. First, it can troubleshoot common audio problems, such as the wrong microphone or speaker being selected, confusing or broken Windows audio settings, headset and microphone setup issues, conflicts with spatial audio, equalizer or enhancement problems, and confusion around how game and chat audio are routed. When Peter finds something wrong, it explains the issue in plain language and walks you through safe steps to fix it yourself. Second, Peter can build a personalized audio profile tailored to your specific headset, the game you are playing, and what you care about most, whether that is hearing footsteps clearly, overall clarity, immersion, or a balanced sound. Rather than applying a generic preset, it builds its recommendations around your setup and lets you give feedback after testing to refine them further. The README states that Peter is designed with privacy in mind and uses a combination of local processing and cloud processing, aiming to keep sensitive information on your device whenever possible rather than sending everything to the cloud. To use it, you download the Windows installer from the project's Releases page, run the setup file, open the app, and follow its guided troubleshooting or tuning steps. It requires Windows 10 or 11 on a 64-bit PC and an internet connection for its AI features. The README notes this is the app's first public release, with headset and game support still expanding.
