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?

I'm using https://rhasspy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ together with HomeAssistant which does what you describe. It combines a lot of different things into one nice UI, one of the things is listening to a wake word with help of one of those:

Raven
Porcupine
Snowboy
Mycroft Precise
Pocketsphinx
External Command

With some of them you can even train it to use your own wake word.

Oh and because last year was the year of the voice in HomeAssistant, they build it in into HomeAssistant itself so you don't need to set it up as clumsy as I did: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/10/12/year-of-the-voice-chapter-4-wakewords/
