Hi all, looking for my next major project/frustration. I’ve been forcing myself to learn the new AI tools and I think I’m ready for the next step. I’m familiar with image generation and I dabbled in a bit of chat bot stuff, but I think I’m ready.
I’ve read a few blogs but I want to find something that could work with my existing setup. My dream setup would be:
A voice assistant that runs locally, preferably dockerized, backup linux, and final option would be Windows, that can run a decent model and preferably let me train a custom voice for it.
I currently have:
- Home Assistant set up already, I’ve seen the OpenAI integrations but would like to migrate off of those
- Google Minis laying around, I’m willing to sacrifice one of them if it means I can use my own stuff
- Spare 1650GTX GPU, I know not the best but hopefully enough to get it off the ground before deciding to go in on a larger GPU that would be dedicated to this
Needs/wants/nice to haves would be:
- Basic chat functionality, what’s the weather like
- Play music from my plex or jellyfin server
- HA integrations so I could say stuff like “Turn off the lights”
Sorry for dumping all of this, like I said I’ve seen blog posts around, some are doing parts of this, but I wonder if anyone has done something like this. I’m sure people have tried. Guides, jumping off points, even githubs/projects you know of would be helpful.
Thanks all!

There was Mycroft but it got killed by a patent troll although afaik you can still run it. OpenvoiceOS and Neon AI have picked up the ball.
As others alluded to, theres Home Assistant Assist
Did you check https://github.com/toverainc/willow-inference-server/ ? I tried it with an ESP-BOX (running https://github.com/toverainc/willow) and the first results are really promising.
