Ash is a fully custom, offline-first voice assistant built in Python, running quietly on your laptop. She lives as a small, beautiful floating semi-transparent window with an animated robot face that mixes Visor Bot’s wide eye band, Retro TV scanlines & antennas, and Diamond Bot’s angular corners. The face smoothly changes between six expressive states: idle, wake, listening, thinking, speaking, and sleeping.
Wake her hands-free anytime by saying “Hey Ash” — powered by a fully offline wake word detector. She uses Faster-Whisper locally for fast, private speech recognition. For intelligence, she has two brains: Ollama with qwen2.5:7b for complete offline conversations, and Groq’s blazing-fast Llama3-70b for powerful online responses — switch instantly by holding Alt + Copilot key.
Ash speaks naturally via Windows TTS and executes real commands: tells time/date, takes screenshots, opens apps/folders, controls volume & brightness, checks battery, locks or shuts down the laptop,
