Hey everyone! I’m pretty new to coding and have been studying Python basics for about two weeks now. I want to create a smart assistant for my home office setup.
My goal is to combine an existing open source chatbot with speech recognition so I can talk to it and get voice responses back (kind of like Alexa). I want two modes - one where I can chat normally with it, and another command mode where I give specific instructions like “Alex, send email to [email protected] with subject Meeting Notes”.
I also want it to detect when I arrive home by sensing my phone connecting to the WiFi network.
I know this might be too advanced for my current skill level, but I’ve heard that working on projects you’re passionate about is the best way to learn programming.
Can anyone suggest good starter chatbots or libraries to look into? Any general advice for tackling this kind of project would be awesome too. Thanks!
