    I look forward to more voice assistants that arent as laughably broken as Google/Alexa.

    My Google Nest can’t even subtract from a timer (it can add, though!). Such a blatant surveillance device.

    Why isn’t this an app?

    The main reason for this is that I wanted to create a voice assistant that is completely offline and doesn’t require any internet connection. This is because I wanted to ensure that the user’s privacy is protected and that the user’s data is not being sent to any third party servers.

    Weird reasoning, why constrain the assistant to pi’s power and memory when you can use it for interaction and utilize another, more powerful server at home
