I think if you could develop a piece of hardware that could run inference on all of that for under $500 a lot people would ditch the cloud based voice assistants. Especially if it came with home assistant integrations.
- eternityforest 4y agoIs NLU even needed? Seems like just a normal parser generator would be enough, the hard part is all the UI and integrations since there are bazillions of devices, many of which don't have a local API, some of which can't because they're cloudful inherently like Google Calendar. I think $100 would be about the limit for consumers, if that, but enough of the techies might switch to make it profitable.
