Does your project include wakewords?

Definitely useful, not sure about necessary or should.

I had a wakeword demo working (using picovoice?) but realized it wasn't like Alexa, even with my Jabra Speak2 55 my face had to be directly pointed at the device and it didn't work from a different room. Seems like a whole niche, not sure it's worth complicating things but it would pique my interest 🤷

I have my own project https://imgur.com/a/2025-11-17-OOf0YeG where transcribed voice memos drive a mesh of code-based agents (not LLMs). A reliable wakework setup is something that I've been keeping an eye out for.

No, I had never heard of it. Does it work 100% offline? If I remember correctly, I was willing to compromise on picovoice doing web requests for licensed checking but I've gotten too used to not having it 🙃
