Not to detract from what seems like an intricate project, but peon-ping (https://www.peonping.com/) has a ton of voice packs now and one of them is Mr Meeseeks. My only issue with it so far is that it's not easy to mix per-project and global voices. It usually takes trying to install from zero and there is an approach I've found using symlinks. It has come quite a long way and having some kind of audio cue has been a game changer.

Ah ah, peon-ping! My brother configured his AI assistant (a dedicated Mac Mini + its own eSIM / Telegram channel) so that it's using Warcraft 2 and 3 sound files when given work: "work work" / "your wish is my command" / etc. I don't remember them all but we played those games a lot.

Back in the days we modded Warcraft 2 with a mix of voices from the english, italian ("la machina volante!") and german voices.

It never gets old.

ah the peon voices are perfect for this, work work / jobs done map suspiciously well onto agent states. your brothers setup is the part i want to hear more about though, a dedicated mac mini with its own esim and telegram channel is further than most people take it. does it just sit on his desk or did he stash it somewhere it can never be unplugged?
Zug zug.
Love that warcraft II and starcraft were also top of mind for fun packs.
I have mine say what it's doing instead of just playing a wav.
its great until you spawn 200 sub agents and it fires off "work work work" for 7 minutes.
