Grok Assistant
Release candidate 1.0.4.
This is a voice companion for the moments when reading is difficult and the house is quiet. The laptop version is for an older person who already has a small computer nearby. The Raspberry Pi 4 version, with 4 GB of RAM, is the same assistant as a dedicated device, for a family that would rather not leave a laptop open. That parallel project is Grok Pi Assistance. The microphone can stay ready. The audio stays on the computer. Only text that was meant for the assistant is sent out.
I spent years waiting for the Amazon Echo to become a better listener. It never really became more than a speaker with a light ring, so I decided to build my own.
In my case, that person is my father. His eyesight is limited, and he spends many hours on his own. I wanted him to have a voice he could simply talk to — one that could answer questions and explain things without making him find a screen or read small text. That is now possible. Grok on this machine is also the foundation for the features and integrations I plan to add next.
While the program is running, it can keep listening. Speech is turned into text on this computer. Grok only receives text when the assistant has actually been addressed: after a greeting, for a question, for a command beginning with comando, or when someone asks for a song. Ordinary conversation stays in the local session. If a command is unclear or misheard, Grok can help interpret it, but the assistant still asks for a sí before doing anything.
That is the basic idea. Below are the listening window and the icon menu, with Escucha open. The pictures are the same in every language.
The diagram below shows what happens to a spoken phrase from the moment it is heard.
In Settings, Grok only searches the internet. An administrator can allow Grok to change files on this machine. The shell stays off, and a relative path lands in the assistant data folder.
