    It absolutely would be a good thing for a voice assistant.

    But most kickback against voice assistants isn’t the lack of use case, it’s all the other bullshit you have to accept alongside it.

    If I could install a voice assistant that didn’t require a constant internet connection and could work alongside other services, I’d use it.

      I think there’s one on F-droid? Starts with a D. I’m sorry I just woke up and can’t find it.

      Edit: its Dicio, oof tho it doesn’t look offline but it does tick the rest of the boxes.
