“As it stands today, we’re not ready yet to tell people that our voice assistant is a replacement for Google/Amazon,” Schoutsen wrote. “We don’t have to be as good as their systems, but there is a certain bar of usable that we haven’t reached yet.”

Key among the improvements that need to happen, according to Schoutsen:

  • Audio input needs to be cleaned up (speaker voice separated) before it is processed
  • Error messages need to be more clear about what’s going wrong, and input has to have more flexibility
  • Non-English languages need a lot of commands and variables
  • Compatible hardware that features far-listening microphones has to be more widely available
  • Most people will want local processing to be faster

    Well there is an OpenAI integration which can be configured to work with local gpt. Then everything is local. It is not perfect, but in some aspects definitely impressive.
