Say Alexsay
Say the name and it is listening. The wake word runs on the speaker itself, so nothing leaves the room until you talk to it.
Open-source home assistant speaker
A speaker that listens to you.On your terms.
Alexsay is a voice assistant you build and own: a Raspberry Pi 5, a four-microphone array and the AI provider you choose, on your own key.
Hardware, firmware and this site are open. Your API keys stay yours.
Built for conversation, not commands.
Everything that makes a speaker pleasant to talk to, with nothing hidden inside.
Talk, do not take turns
Full-duplex voice. Interrupt the assistant mid-sentence and it stops and listens.
Hears you over itself
A four-microphone array with hardware echo cancellation keeps its own voice out of your words.
Your keys, your bill
Bring your own OpenAI key today, Claude and Gemini next. Nothing is resold and your keys stay encrypted.
Runs your home
Lights and more through the services you connect: Lightwave today, Apple Home and Google Home next.
Open hardware, open source
A printed enclosure, off-the-shelf parts and a Rust daemon you can read, build and change.
Plugs into what you already use.
Pick an AI provider for the conversation and the smart home it should control. More providers are on the way.
