Serp AI is a voice and audio assistant you run on your own machine. Its open-source SERPy project listens for spoken commands and answers through a large language model, with a synthetic voice you choose yourself.

Compared with cloud assistants tied to one vendor stack, SERPy is a self-hosted GitHub project from the serp-ai organization with conversational memory that adapts to your habits over time. The original marketing page at serp.ai/tools/ai-voice-assistant now returns 404, so the repository is the live home for installs and documentation.

SERPy targets developers and hobbyists who want a Jarvis-style desktop assistant they can modify. The README points to a free download link and demo videos, and the repo tags cover voice activation, scheduling, email, and writing assistant use cases.
