Love how they want to keep the focus to the personal usage instead of selling themselves into building features for business.

Does anyone knows what is the current state of the voice commands? I always wanted a self hosted version of Google Assistant. I bet it's possible to use a fine tuned version of llama and open source models like whisper to have a local assistant smarter than any of these smart speakers available in the market.

We’re working on making a voice assistant with Home Assistant[1]. We have all parts done except for wake word, which Hopefully we’ll be able to ship soon.
