I’m replacing Amazon Alexa with my own, completely local AI voice assistant!! The amazing part is that it cleanly integrates with my home automation system, Home Assistant. Also, it’s using local LLMs like llama3.2 with Ollama. I think it’s finally time for you to replace your voice assistant with something local.
