It almost feels like the tech is there for a DIY Alexa if you just put some microphones and speakers around your house and set up a computer to run it. I would love to see some sort of packaged open source solution for this.

thanks!! obviously there's a lot of stuff we need to do to make this run at scale that Alexa has down pat.

A Home Assistant integration is a great idea! would love to talk with you on our Discord[0] about this / over email ( ajay at vocode.dev ), it's something we definitely want to build.

This might be bigger market that what you planned originally

Maybe use this to create a voice interface connected to a LangChain agent?

Totally! We actually use LangChain for the OpenAI wrapper agents we give out of the box (you can plug in your own custom one as well)
