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.
