I'd love to find a selfhosted voice assistant to use on my phone, computer, etc. iOS compatibility is a plus. Does anyone know of anything out there that could fit the bill?

      ☹️ Mycroft ran out of money and closed down. I think you can still order a Mark2, but the cloud components they were hosting were taken down which essentially breaks the software. There is another company that picked up the ball and took over support but it's a more limited experience at the moment and the whole ecosystem is in a bit of a rut. The OpenVoiceOS project that spun out of Mycroft looks like the best bet long-term but they haven't finished a stable release yet. I bought a Mark2, which I still think is the best hardware available for an open source voice assistant, but finding and stitching together the software to make it work is a chore atm.
