I’m getting really tired of talking to Alexa now I’m used to a machine actually understanding me.
Lights is just the start. Things like getting the weather, playing a playlist (or coming up with a new one for me) would all be SO much better with an LLM instead of a dumb bot.
Edit: if you’re going to downvote. Leave a comment at least. Are there just a lot of Alexa fans in the house?
Of course that requires a lot of up-front work other than GPT, but not a ton more than is necessary to talk to the API in the first place, but GPT itself has not impressed me in the ability to rank things, like "select the fifty other songs I've liked that are most like this song" even when given a lot of quantitative metadata.
Alexa doesn't really know anything about breakfast it just blindly turns on the light and TV. I think it would be handy to have Alexa know that I've been watching a particular show during "breakfast" and turn the TV to the next episode. It would also be super handy for Alexa to notice that it's my usual breakfast time, I've just gotten milk and cereal out of the cabinet, and I'm heading to the TV room. Instead, I have to utter the words "Alexa, breakfast" when I want it to get ready for me to start my day.
You simply add the Piper and Whisper addons, then add the integration in the GUI. Then you press the assistant button in the app or your browser and then press the mic button and talk.
