voice-assistant — Jervis Voice Assistant

A fully-local, private voice assistant. Say "Hey Jervis" and make a request; it answers, controls your house, manages your shopping list, and speaks back through your speakers — driven by a single LLM "brain" that calls tools.

Docs

• docs/overview.md — the whole architecture in one page (diagram, hosts/IPs/ports, component map).
• docs/agent-api.md — the command contract: send text, get a spoken reply. Use from any AI model, script, N8N, ESP32, or web app.
• docs/clients.md — type-it, web page, and Android gateways.

Quick use

# speak a command (reply is spoken through speakers too)
curl -X POST http://192.168.20.13:8501/voice \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text":"add chicken to the shopping list"}'
