Runs on the garage box, talks to me on Signal, hasn't phoned home once (I checked, I'm that guy). 2.0 finally fixed the memory leak in the gateway. If you want an assistant you actually own, this is it.

I wanted to like this. Setup took me a full evening, the docs assume you already know what a gateway is, and it got stuck in a loop reading my calendar. I'm sure it's great if you're a developer. I'm not.
