I’ve searched the internet a bit, but couldn’t find what I was looking for.
I saw Leon, but it doesn’t have an android client, for example.
Is there good assistances, that you can self host and use on your phone? and that can perform actions like make a phone call, play music, send WhatsApp etc?
I’m not a big user of these, but recently I used Google Assistant and found it was very convenient in my case. So ofc I wanted the benefit without all the spying.
Would ideally look for something that I can self host on my VPS (oracle cloud) and run a client on Android.
thanks!
Home Assistant people have been working pretty hard on it recently, haven’t tried it but it seems promising
Whats it called?
the offline thing is awesome. finally what I want.
Well HomeAssistant launched one just recently
There’s a YouTuber called NetworkChuck who has a few videos on hooking Home Assistant up to Ollama. Here’s the first one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvbVePuP7NY
(I find his style to be slightly bombastic and annoying, but the info seems good.)
Liked especially because of the comment about network Chuck being bombastic and annoying.
Dicio is a client side Android assistant that can do some things and respond to voice commands. In my experience it drains the battery and isn’t as good as commercial alternatives though.
I always want to try it but never. Form the docs it seems a complex, no so plug-and-play system.
Mycroft perhaps
They don’t exist as a company anymore and the device itself was basically just a pi with a display, camera and mic and without a capable software. (afaik)
