Why the AI voice assistant? What? Is this perhaps a prank? That doesn't line up with the ethos of the Flipper Zero

Where does it talk about a voice assistant?

  The first image which annotates the controls has a "Push-to-Talk button" which is used for "Voice communication" and "AI assistant activation".

    PTT sounds great, tiny walkie-talkies with user-provided antennas, and seems rugged too, I'd probably end up buying two at least :)

      PTT isn't the issue. It's their intended use case.

        It's a Flipper, the intended use case is "whatever you can think and do", it's not there for a single use case, none of the hardware features are.

I mean, one of the very first things I would do on a such powerful device is to run a voice-controlled agent with access to all the IO the Flipper has and let the agent take over the device to do whatever I want. I can imagine having your agent of preference writing python scripts on the fly for whatever scenario you have in mind based on your spoken desires is like... literally a dream device, at least for me.

  And you're going to verify them on that tiny screen before executing them?

Perhaps an uncommon/unpopular opinion but with the AI like writing style... I unfortunately seriously doubt multiple aspects of this product on multiple grounds. If someone said "I asked ChatGPT to make a safe Flipper One and pasted it", I'd believe it. Some stuff here... just doesn't make much sense.

Voice commands may be a valuable feature. This thing has limited input: no keyboard, small non-touchscreen. In addition, it is meant to be wired, which means it may end up in an inconvenient position. Also, the SoC they are using has a NPU, so local AI is a possibility. Calling it "voice commands" or "AI voice assistant" is just marketing. I think the latter is a bit out of touch though, they are not selling a smartphone. I would even go as far as saying they are selling an "anti-smartphone".
