> This is currently just a hobby. Look in the AI subfolder of this repo for some curated examples. Long term goal is to develop a 100% selfhosted alternative to virtual assistants like Alexa, but without the harvesting of your Data. My Virutal Assistant will be able to do a host of tasks, extendable through a library of third party addons. For example: book a hair appointment, order food from a food delivery app, summarize your emails, draft emails for you, help your kids with homework, book a e-taxi. The possibilities are endless.
