    They could, but they wouldn’t be able to trap that functionality behind a paywall, so they’re not interested.

    It can get done by anyone with an open model in way less than a year, using the approach you’ve described.

      People run whisper on HA, and there already exist intention mapping packages. They’ve been around for probably a decade already. Pretty hit or miss… mostly because there isn’t a ton of flexibility in the structure of the commands you issue it.

      If someone wanted to use an online LLM to attempt to translate a complex whisper transcription into something an existing intention mapped would handle well, that’s closer to a day’s worth of goofing around rather than a year. I actually refuse to believe it hasn’t already been done.

      And if you’re using an online llm to do that translation, I don’t see why that can’t be behind a paywall either.

      Honestly for this task, I imagine offline models would be sufficient.
