that works in the home
BRINGING CHOICE TO VOICE
If you have powerful hardware, run voice fully locally, or offload speech processing to our privacy-first cloud for speedy performance.
Local
Your voice never leaves your home and the processing is pretty accurate, but is hardware-intensive
Cloud
Your voice is processed privately on Home Assistant Cloud, allowing Assist to run very accurately on low-powered hardware.
Breaking language barriers
Assist aims to support more languages than other voice assistants, but this is still a work in progress, and we need your help.
Start experimenting with AI
Connect your Voice Preview Edition to popular AI providers, or local LLMs, to control your home with natural language.
FULLY OPEN SOURCE AND COMMUNITY-DRIVEN
Fully open software, firmware, and hardware allows you to make it work best for your needs. It includes a Grove port for connecting sensors and a 3.5mm headphone jack for connecting external speakers. With a dedicated community customizing and adding functionality.
Be part of building Assist and preview the future of voice control in the home.
