The full story
The maker, who mostly tinkers with Power Apps, VBA and Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi, wanted a phone assistant that does what they want instead of Google Assistant. With Claude as a coding partner they built a Kotlin app in one evening that runs on their OnePlus 10T.
The wake word "Hey Claude" is detected offline with Vosk. It handles calls and SMS (the AI drafts a text, reads it back and sends it after 5 seconds unless cancelled), Gmail summaries and replies, calendar events, alarms, timers and Google Maps navigation. Home Assistant access is read-only through a whitelist of 48 sensors, with no cameras or alarm. The post is written in French.
