rchardkovacs · x · 2026-11-14
X user rchardkovacs points out that a decent, unused gaming PC at home is all you need to build a voice-based, always-on AI assistant.
The recipe:
- Claude Code or Codex as the core
- Whisper for STT
- Kokoro for TTS
- A Discord bot as the interface
- A harness like PAL to tie everything together
