I am looking for a voice assistant that is as private as could be its a NEED not a want. I am aware of Mycroft who has discontinued service. I am aware of Rhasspy but it seems like a lot to setup and maintain.
I’m more looking for how to privatize something mainstream on mobile to always have it with me, not a standalone at home device. I’m talking Alexa, Siri, Google assistant, ect. For to do lists, reminders, looking up questions on the web. The usual use cases. In what ways can one make their assistant a little more privacy friendly without not using one? Which assistant is best? Thanks.
Edit: I’ve considered setting one behind VPN, Behind something like Pihole to block Calling Home from said app or device.
I seen Microcunt Teams has a really nice summarize feature of meetings things like that are so nice even taking notes and asking questions about the topic. I will look into Siri. I hate apple as much as microremoved but I need something mains stream as I don’t have time to set things up. Otherwise I would go the HA route. A lot of the replies are missing the ask here. I’m looking for ways to aid in privacy of a plug and play system like an echo dot or siri, google home, etc. Such as behind a VPN, fake account, and more. Ways to protect myself from the bloodsuckers.
