The setup process involves cloning the repository, installing dependencies, adding API keys, starting the development server, and deploying the application. The application requires API keys for Groq, OpenAI, and Serper for core functionality, with optional keys for Langchain Tracing, Upstash Redis, Spotify, and Fal.AI. The application can be customized through the `app/config.tsx` file, allowing users to adjust settings and configurations for the AI-powered voice assistant. Contributions to the project are welcomed and the developer can be supported through Patreon, Buy Me A Coffee, their website, Github, and Twitter.
