I built a fully offline AI assistant on a Raspberry Pi 5!
It listens with Whisper, thinks with Ollama, and talks with Piper —
all running locally, no internet required.
Powered by the Whisplay HAT and PiSugar 3 Plus battery,
this tiny setup can recognize your voice, generate a reply, and speak it back — all on its own.🤖
This step-by-step guide is perfect for Raspberry Pi beginners who want to create their offline AI project.
Offline is the new smart. 🔋🧠💬
