Please let me know if this would be better posted somewhere else.

I’m disabled (CFS) and everything takes more energy. I’ve used google assistant for a while just for quick questions, jotting down notes, etc. with all the tracking settings “turned off.”

Would there be a way to DIY (or is there a privacy focused) smart assistant? I just need it to take notes, do a search by voice, and possibly play music. There’s gotta be something, no? If not, would it really be that hard to DID?
