Ask HN: Any DIY open-source Alexa/Google alternatives?

9 pointsby personality05개월 전4 comments

I'm looking to replace my Alexa with an alternative where I can use a realtime model like Gemini or an STT -> LLM -> TTS pipeline. Should be easy to build with an Arduino or I'd even be happy buying an already made solution.

Basic functions should include playing Spotify, asking questions, settings timers.

The ESP32S3 has wake word support: https://components.espressif.com/components/espressif/esp-sr...

The rest is just some vibe coding…

If it's possible via vibe coding, then there are a few projects out there that do just exactly that.
