You guys are right about that. But first to be clear. This is NOT our HQ, but an office not working on our core- platform. People sitting in this office can look out of the window to see who's standing at the door before opening the door.

Also, please note, this was just a fun small project for us. Making an image with a camera and posting to Slack would be better. We had much fun making this without putting a lot effort in it, that was for now the point.

We are aware of all the security issues and are not using this in production at our main office.

Not just business hours. Go there on thanksgiving and it will open.

I think they would definitely also want to send ~5 seconds of the plain audio. Freely available speech to text probably wouldn't recognize local business names. But either way it's pretty inconvenient to ring a doorbell and wait ~30 seconds. You never realize how valuable a receptionist is until you don't have one.
