Here's what I'm looking for in a voice assistant:
- Full privacy: nothing goes to the "cloud"
- Non-shitty microphones and processing: i want to be able to be heard without having to yell, repeat, or correct
- No wake words: it should listen to everything, process it, and understand when it's being addressed. Since everything is private and local, this is now doable
- Conversational: it should understand when I finished talking, have ability to be interrupted, all with low latency
- Non-stupid: it's 2024, and alexa and siri and google are somehow absolutely abysmal at doing even the basics
- Complete: i don't want to use an app to get stuff configured. I want everything to be controlled via voice
