A 1989 Atari Portfolio Pocket PC Now Chats with AI and Describes Camera Images

An external expansion adds typed and spoken AI conversations to a working 1989 Atari Portfolio while retaining its original keyboard and LCD. The device can also describe camera images and play internet radio.

Maker Davide La Sala uses an ESP32-based external module for networking, audio and camera functions, with the AI accessed online. The language model does not run on the vintage computer itself.
