I’m about to try some custom wake words, I can think of these so far:

  • Hey Assistant
  • Hey GlaDOS
  • Hey Skynet
  • Hey Tardis
  • R2-D2
  • CPU
  • Computer
  • Operator

I’ll use them for a while and see which one I like best.

What wake word are you using? Do you have some other cool ideas?

SEARLE: Icarus. ICARUS [OVER COMMUNICATOR]: Yes, Dr. Searle? Please re-filter the Observation Room portal. ICARUS: Filter up or down, Dr. Searle? Down. Oh, my. Icarus, how close is this to full brightness? ICARUS: At this distance of 36 million miles… …you are observing the sun at 2 percent of full brightness. Two percent? Can you show me 4 percent?

How about Hal

“Marco, Arco…”

“Polo, Pilot.”

Arco is gonna be the name of my bike, if I ever finish building it, and I was thinking about setting it up with a Pi and some voice assistant integration (don’t ask me how. One thing at a time).

Pilot has some weird disassociative /existential fuckery involved in it.

Is there a syllable requirement? While I never directly experienced the fiasco that was Bixby, I’m amused by the “Bixby Button” on my new iPhone, so: Bixby

Great list!

(Winston is missing, but I guess he’s covered as Jeeves)

“hello Mr computer” from star trek tos movie.

However I’m immature so I probably would go with “hey bitch” but probably would get my partner confused of who I’m talking too.

Most likely would be “hey micro-brain” or “hey micro-slave” . The micro part is probably enough for my partner to know it’s not them too.

Pardon my ignorance. If I want to replace my Echo dots at home, can I make some kind of like, home made ones? I like having them for light control and music etc. but. After having them a few years they certainly have limits and privacy disadvantages. I have all hue lights at home myself. The echos just act as interfaces. Nobody in the family really uses the web interface much for light control. It’s usually voice. Can I have my cake and eat it to? How? Raspberry pi?

I really hope somebody finds a way to upload custom firmware to Google or Alexa speakers. I like the hardware and the sound and I know I will not be able to build something as nice myself…
