Help building an offline AI assistant
I'm kinda new to this and feeling overwhelmed with the abundance of sw. I am in pursuit of making my own AI assistant. I would like to use it (voice controlled):
- simple automation tasks
- play music from a local hdd
- chat (general conversation)
It would be nice if I could choose or configure its voice.
Ill need to be able to add my own scripts in python or c# to integrate various other devices.
For the hardware I would like to use an Elitedesk minipc with a i5 7500 CPU, 16GB Ram, sdd but no graphic card.
I've just started to fiddle with ollama and open claw. But its soooo slow and I think it might be overkill for what I'm trying to achieve.
I don't own a rpi and I would like to use the hw I already have. Unless it's impossible or way too complicated compared to other hw solutions. Still, I would consider changing the hw if it greatly simplifies the project.
Can you guys help me out ? Thanks in advance
