Hi everyone,
I replaced the emoji display of XiaoZhi with an animated face on the
SpotPear ESP32-S3 AI ball (N16R8, 1.28" round GC9A01).

What it does:
- the face talks, blinks, shows emotions and follows you with its eyes
- the AI can change its look via MCP tools ("be a cat", "capsule eyes",
"make your whiskers pink", glasses, shoes, ears ...) - it can draw simple pictures on request
- small offline games via a long press menu
Ready-to-flash firmware (browser flashing with esptool-js) and instructions:

Works with the normal xiaozhi.me server. Feedback welcome!
