It's a microphone, not a chatbot. It's for controlling smart home stuff, turning on lights, checking the weather, playing music, adjusting the air conditioning, etc. Without having to have spyware from some shitty tech company in your house.

You could use an LLM to give it a more natural interface but you could run one locally so it's not going to openai etc.
