I have started to develop an AI voice assistant using python and some other software. I am building it with privacy and security in mind. I am open to contributions. https://github.com/sidgames5/excalibur

I’ve heard that the one Home Assistant is making is also pretty good

It is a good voice assistant but it isn’t an ai voice assistant, Also only works for your home assistant devices/entities unless you link it to gpt

Great project 👍

Check ur pull requests

Rather than build a new one, consider contributing to one that already exists: like Dicio. It hasn’t had an update since 2023-09, but the base is all there. It might be a lot less work for you, and it would help revive a promising project.

Or SEPIA

Oh that’s cool! I never heard of this one. I’m gonna have to check it out.

Thanks!

I’d recommend looking at the Wyoming/Piper/Rhasspy system. There’s some really good minds working on it and it’s got a big community behind it already. It’s also plug and play with Home Assistant which is awesome. It’s the system I use and while I’m still fine tuning it for my use cases it’s already pretty great.

I’m experimenting with the Music Assistant add-on but it seems to be early days for that project. Could be awesome though as it combines media libraries from services (e.g. YouTube music) and self-hosted things (e.g. Navidrome) and plugs them into the Home Assistant ecosystem.

Hook my number up and I’ll be the voice assistant. I promise I’ll be extremely private and secure.

In all seriousness just posting to boost, good luck on this project. It seems really promising and wish I could contribute.
