Tangentially: are there any good non-ecosystem-oriented (i.e. not built by someone who wants you to spend more time in their ecosystem; doesn't necessarily have to be free or open source) voice assistants for home automation (not arbitrary phone tasks; stuff like reminders and playing music in a house, perhaps hosted in said house as well)?
I'm assuming not, both because hard, missing corpus of training data for high quality q&a understanding, and minimal demand. But maybe I'd be surprised!
- SCNP 5y agoHome Assistant has a lot of plugins but I haven't checked in a while. I seem to remember something about an AI/ML plugin for voice either coming soon or starting development. Everything for Home Assistant, I think, needs to be able to run air-gapped, too. Edit: Should have included a link: https://www.home-assistant.io/ https://www.home-assistant.io/
