Hi everyone

Someone just offered me a Google Home Mini, I tried it for a few hours, and i have to tell it could be pretty useful sometimes, but for a lot of reasons including privacy, i wont use it anymore.

I heard a lot about open source voice assistant, saw a lot of projects like MyCroft, Stephanie, Linto, Jarvis but i never used it and I was wondering if some of you are using one of them daily.

Are they useful enough to be sitting on your desk ? I'm French but English recognition would be great.

Thanks for reading :)
