@emile_ferreira Please do so. No one will use your product for de-googling if you aren't open source

@tregsthedev @emile_ferreira Most don't trust Google BECAUSE it's not open source, we KNOW their hiding malicious privacy invading code. If you're not open source that will be the only viewpoint of your software. The myth of open source software not being profitable or that open source only leads to your code being forked and affecting you negatively has been disproven time and time again. Your entire potential user base is privacy aware people, and none of us would trust something with this much access, that's licensed as proprietary.

“Independent of tech giants” — Great benefit line. “Works in 3rd world countries” — Err.. what? This is the very opposite of what is achieved by the previous statement. How about “Works in countries with limited infrastructure”? :/

I wouldn't waste time considering if I should get it or not- because I already know I want it.

Pros:

It's quick and efficient

Cons:

N/A

Though I like the idea a lot, a fast google assistant, it's too fast, haha. Can you set up a delay so it's not so snappy? Is that possible to do within settings?

Great product. But not clear how voice thing works. I am using Google Pixel phone. Saying 'hey Bestee' does not do anything. Also in app how am I supposed to give voice commands, is it - press Mic icon, say something like 'hey bestee how is weather today?' or just click Mic icon once and say something. Currently it does not respond to any voice command and never replies back in voice. I can only use by typing text and get replies in text.

I love the idea of a fully offline assistant! The UI and the logo also look really cool (nice website too). All major virtual assistants only work when connected to the internet, even though their abilities are VERY limited and don't justify the constant connection. The problem is that this assistant does not understand most of the things I say. It recognizes my voice offline, no problem, but I keep getting replies along the lines of "I don't know how to do that yet but I'm getting smarter all the time"... I feel like I have to memorize the commands that it is able to understand instead of just talking to it. By the way, what did you use to make this? I'm really curious.
