Basically title. I want an app that can integrate with a server to run whisper and small local llms to place phone calls and such. Already have ollama and such, so that side is done. I just need the integration.

Edit for clarity: I mean a local siri type thing.

It's even mostly open source.

That looks like a call center type thing. I'm more looking for "hey google" without (most of) the spyware.

Edit: re-reading my post, I see how it looks like that's what I meant.

So there's an answer, and then there's a problem.

The easy answer is that Home Assistant has Voice Assistants now, and you can use Ollama, Whisper, and Piper to do that all locally.

The problem is that it really only talks to Home Assistant, there's no ability to have it search the web, or make a phone call, or really anything else outside of Home Assistant without significant addon stuffs.

It also requires a reasonably significant amount of RAM on your computer to run the VM for Home Assistant while supporting Whisper and Piper and Ollama.

Vibecode something? Fair warning that vibecoding android apps is fraught with peril. Be very explicit in what versions of android and the SDK in your prompt.

I have lots of java and a smidgen of kotlin experience so I'll probably just regular code it if I have to. I would still prefer if something already exists.
