I feel like you could get pretty far with a raspberry pi and microphone/speaker. I think the hard part is running a model that can detect a "Hey agent" on-device, so that it can run 24/7 and hand off to the orchestrator when it catches a real question/query.
I think you’re right. I’ve been seeing more and more DIY hardware setups popping up. There are even wake work models for hardware as low powered as the ESP32.
In the middle of moving though so probably have to wait before taking on hardware.
