Do you guys think there will ever be a FOSS voice assistant? (kbin.social)

Theres Dicio, which honestly does all that I need a voice assistant to do, but I have to open the app to use it, I cant just say "Hey Dicio" or whatever. Is something like that possible?

Wikipedia entry: "In early 2023, Mycroft AI ceased development."

Probably for the best. They'd been spinning their wheels while sucking most of the oxygen out of the room for several years now. Time for somebody else to give it a go
