Then, from my perspective, there's little to no value to have a dedicated piece of hardware for it. At least I'd guess that 99.999% the target audience for such a thing already has a smartphone with them. What - if not for the sake of privacy - is the added value of a special chatbot device?

I guess it makes it a bit easier to access + it's a fun project to DIY, not much else.
