    These just dont need to be online. 90% of the use I have seen is timers and lights, like a half step above hello world.

    There is a market for voice assistants that are local.

      Home assistant is capable of it. Unfortunately it’s not yet overly user friendly about it, but it’s getting better rapidly.

        I did see something recently about local LLMs and voice input layers. The post made it seem very Jarvis like, think it may have been the voice used or the name.

        Knowing nothing about tech other than I want my privacy I am hoping it is feasible for the common man

          It has several modes. The most basic is speech to text, pattern match, then implement. It also has text to speak for feedback. No actual AI in the loop.

          It’s also capable of tying to AI models in various ways. It’s mainly intended for question answering. Either general, or about your data.

          I personally don’t trust a non-deterministic AI having direct control of my house, so the split is useful.
