Open Source On-Device AI Assistant
Hi all, just built an open source Assistant Android app that uses a TensorFlow Lite model for text classification and task automation (e.g., making calls, setting alarms). The model is 25MB, and I've kept API calls to a minimum by only using them for general questions.
I'd love to get your feedback! You can check out the full video, YouTube shorts, and GitHub repo linked below.
What do you think? Any suggestions for improvement?
