I too am super interested in an offline-only voice assistant but really don't want to bother with setting up a mic connected to a pi. Even tough it's not super hard, it'll never be as good as the commercially available options.

I think this project would really benefit from taking one of the excellent existing voice assistant/speakers on the market (Google home, echo dots, etc., and flashing them with some custom firmware.

Are there any plans for a voice input Home Assistant component similar to https://home-assistant.io/components/conversation/?

I would prefer to simply use the iOS app as a voice input instead of a dedicated mic + raspberry pi.

Otherwise, great project :)

Only thing I really don't agree with is the 80 char max.

I'm not suggesting unlimited but isn't it time we revisit this?

It really feels like one of those "we've always done it this way so just leave it"

They don't include them anymore in the 2016 MacBooks
Mind sharing what window manager/desktop env/etc. you're using?
It's too bad the driver stated that he didn't use the summon feature. It gave Tesla an excuse to shift the conversation away from the real issue.

Would love to try this. No demo. Oh well.

Out of curiosity, what email client are you using now?

Mailmate looks good but I have to confess I never gave it a shot due to it's design. Just looks so outdated.

Does Mail Pilot 2 support Markdown in the compose window? If so, I'll switch away from Airmail.
Any news on that build script?
I would love to use this, I really would. The UI is great.

But I can't get over the fact that all of my emails would go through a third-party service. It's just too much to ask these days.
