The full story
Moving away from Alexa and Google Home, the poster worked with Claude to make a local voice assistant using Linux Voice Assistant on a Pi Zero 2 W, with a custom wake word, a PyGame-rendered face and an old Google AIY Voice Kit speaker and mic hat.
He says he isn't totally happy with it and calls the code "Claude Slop", but is glad it works. The goal is a 3D-printed base and glass dome using the Pepper's Ghost effect.
