Ask HN: Any DIY open-source Alexa/Google alternatives?
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 rest is just some vibe coding…
