Delete Alexa: Build a Private "God Mode" Assistant (CAAL + n8n) 🔒

Описание: We trade our privacy for convenience every time we say "Hey Google" or "Alexa." Every command is beamed to a black box server we can't control.
In this video, we break down CAAL, an open-source project that gives you a smart assistant that runs locally, respects your privacy, and has infinite skills.
In this video, we cover:
1. The "Black Box" Problem 📦 We discuss the fundamental trade-off of modern smart speakers: You get convenience, but big tech gets your data. CAAL flips this script—your data stays on your hardware, and the code is open for anyone to see.
2. The "Infinite Skill Glitch" (n8n) ⚡ This is the killer feature. We explain how CAAL integrates with n8n (a workflow automation tool).
• How it works: If you can build a workflow in n8n (like adding a grocery item or posting to social media), CAAL automatically detects it and turns it into a voice command.
• It is no longer a fixed tool; it is an "ever-expanding Swiss Army Knife".
3. The "Lego Block" Architecture 🧱 We explain the modular Docker stack that powers the system:
• Voice Block: Handles audio (using OpenAI Whisper).
• Brain Block: Runs the LLM (fully local or cloud-offloaded).
• Tool Block: Connects to Home Assistant and the web.
4. Hardware Flexibility 💻 You don't need a supercomputer. We discuss the different modes:
• GPU Mode: For Linux users with Nvidia cards (100% local).
• Mac Mode: Optimized for Apple Silicon.
• CPU Mode: Offloads heavy lifting to the cloud if your hardware is older.
The Verdict: Your AI, Your Rules. It is time to see what it feels like when an assistant works only for you.
