I finally picked up a project I had started about a year ago where I decided to make a personal virtual assistant that didn’t need to use AI to do anything. I’m still deciding on a working name for the assistant, but the project now has basic voice-to-text functionality, a voice playback function, and all code-breaking bugs seem to have been fixed. My next step will be to add a few testing functions and to find a way for the program to decide which functions I want to run based on the user’s voice command and the given names of the functions. The assistant currently only runs through the terminal, but eventually I want to be able to manage the assistant through a GUI.
