This is a perfect example of users being forced to hack around product limitations. Google Assistant has gotten progressively worse over the years - more ads, slower responses, and losing the ability to do basic tasks it used to handle.
The fact that people are resorting to custom integrations and local LLMs shows there's a real gap in the market. Google had a huge head start but seems more interested in monetization than actually improving the core experience.
Would love to see more open-source alternatives that run locally. The privacy benefits alone make it worth the effort.

Could this not be part of home assistant with the right hardware? Or running home assistant on, or extending it to, Google Home hardware?
