Ask HN: Any DIY open-source Alexa/Google alternatives?
I'm looking to replace my Alexa with an alternative where I can use a realtime model like Gemini or an STT -> LLM -> TTS pipeline. Should be easy to build with an Arduino or I'd even be happy buying an already made solution.
Basic functions should include playing Spotify, asking questions, settings timers.
