Overview

Ming Voice is a voice assistant that runs on your own PC with an AMD Radeon graphics card (NVIDIA is experimental), on Linux or on Windows 11 through WSL2. You talk to it in the browser, on your phone over your home network or through the PC's own microphone, and it answers out loud. It checks the weather, searches the web, sets timers, keeps shopping and to-do lists, remembers what you tell it and controls Home Assistant devices. It suits Home Assistant users and PC owners with a large graphics card.

Your voice is processed on your own graphics card, so no audio leaves your machine, and you can turn its web tools off to stay fully offline.

Good to know

Run a spoken assistant at home on your own GPU for timers, lists, weather and smart home control. You talk to it in a browser, on your phone over home Wi-Fi or through the PC's own microphone.

Limits

The model download is about 20 GB, and the running server holds about 12 to 20 GB of video memory until you stop it.
With tools on, search terms and place names go to DuckDuckGo or Brave Search and Open-Meteo; turning tools off in Settings keeps it offline. The installer may ask for your password and also fetches uv, PyTorch and AMD packages from their official sites.
