Kvasura: a voice host that pours on command

There is a scenario everyone who has ever hosted a dinner recognises. Guests are seated, glasses are on the table, someone is pouring, someone is insisting, a third person is fiddling with the music and switching the radio on the way — and the host is shouting all of it over the general noise. You need a master of ceremonies, but finding someone willing to stand at the microphone for an entire evening is not easy.

Kvasura is a virtual host built by Tavrida Robotics. It runs in a browser on a large screen, is controlled from the server and talks to guests by voice.

What Kvasura is

Kvasura is not a recording — it is a system that hears guests in real time and reacts. It gives toasts, plays music and radio, recognises voice commands in Russian and drives a smart pourer over the network.

One detail turns out to matter a lot in practice: Kvasura tracks where the glasses are standing and how much has been poured into each. It only pours into glasses that are in their designated places. This is not a flourish — it is basic logic, because mixed-up glasses at a party are remembered long after the evening is over.

How it works

The whole scenario comes down to four stages:

1. Glasses are placed. Guests set their glasses on the table, the pourer records the occupied positions and sends the data to the server.
2. A voice command. One of the guests speaks naturally — “pour”, “play track 33”, “turn on the radio”, “glass two — Nikolai”.
3. Kvasura acts. The system pours, gives a toast, starts music or radio.
4. Guests relax. Everything else happens on its own.

The system remembers guest names and their previous requests, so “glass two — Nikolai” works meaningfully: it pours into the glass assigned to that person.

Two operating modes

Automatic. Pouring starts as soon as a glass is set down. Suits noisy parties and large groups, where reaching the host by voice is physically difficult.

On command. Pouring happens only after a command or a toast. Suits weddings, anniversaries and events with a ceremonial pace, where sequence matters.

What it does

• Toasts. Upload audio and play a toast by button, voice command or timer.
• Music and radio. Control tracks from the library by number, or live radio.
• Voice commands. “Pour”, “play track 33”, “turn on the radio” — commands are recognised in Russian.
• Guest names. Kvasura remembers who is sitting where and pours for the right person.
• Large screen. Visualisation, animations, glass status and a live event feed.
• Admin panel. Configure content, commands and modes, and review logs.

Under the hood

Voice recognition uses browser capabilities, with a server-side fallback in place for when browser recognition does not work. The pourer is driven over a secure connection.

The server is located in Russia. Guests install nothing: the system is designed for Chrome and a large screen — a laptop or a TV that is already in the room.

Who it is for

Birthdays, corporate parties, weddings, anniversaries and friendly get-togethers — any scenario that needs a host but does not have a person willing to be one all evening.

Project status

Kvasura is preparing for launch. The launch support team helps with setup: content, commands and modes.

The project is part of the Tavrida Robotics ecosystem alongside the service robots. The logic is the same: routine work — pouring, entertaining, keeping track — is handed to the machine, and the person looks after the guests.
