Do you guys think there will ever be a FOSS voice assistant? (kbin.social)

Theres Dicio, which honestly does all that I need a voice assistant to do, but I have to open the app to use it, I cant just say "Hey Dicio" or whatever. Is something like that possible?

should have clarified, I'm not looking for a home assistant, I'm looking for a voice assistant on my phone. either way super exited to see where they take this

I don't see how being home-assistant excludes it from working on your phone. The only difference is that your phone acts as the "satellite" rather than a stationary device.

While that's true, all the things they built are individual and open source, it wouldn't take too much work for sometime who knows how to package things up for a phone app. That said, you'd need another device to do all the processing.
