Do you use it to help with schoolwork / work? Maybe to help you code projects, or to help teach you how to do something?

What are your preferred models and why?

As a voice assistant server for my home assistant setup.

Edit. I leaned it by watching a Networkchuck video on YouTube. Basically a Piper integration for “voice to text” then a Whisper intergration for “text to voice”, and openWakeWord integration for wake word.

That sounds interesting! Can you describe what software you used for that? And how powerful does the hardware has to be?

Can you tell me more about this? I’ve considered trying to build and self-host something for home automation that would essentially be a FOSS and locally run Alexa/Google Assistant. Is this what you’re doing? How exactly does Ollama fit in?

Can you describe your setup?

I would love an offline voice assist while coding, but I’m paranoid about sharing my voice with AI providers given how easy voices are to clone these days.
