Frankly. Keep My Data Private. Please.

Lakshya Prajapati — Sun, 28 Jun 2026 07:29:38 +0000

Even if I am probably younger than YOU, I use AI, I use assistants, I use the web; but still, I have always known that my data is there, in those Data Centres and frankly I can't stop it. I also can't stop using Gemini or ChatGPT!

All the Voice Assistants claiming to be local, private, safe... are they actually doing what they say? I was concerned...

That's why I decided to create my own AI voice assistant with one aim local, private, safe and a powerful assistant.

Meet Churo, The assistant built for privacy.

Churo has been sculpted particularly for privacy, safety and power. Churo is not only a Voice Assistant but a Copilot that sits in your terminal at all times.

Churo is equipped with the top-of-the-line Text-to-Speech and Speech-to-Text for providing you the experience of talking to a real person.

With the following features:

Local. Private.

Image Analysis based on context
Agentic Capabilities

Either go to:

https://github.com/MathObsession/Churo-assistant

OR
Run:

pip install churovoice
churovoice --voice male

NOTE:
CHURO IS CURRENTLY MAC ONLY AND WINDOWS SUPPORT IS COMING IN V2.0.1

Short, Easy, Great!

I've been working on Churo, an open-source voice assistant built entirely in Python.

It features high-quality speech-to-text and text-to-speech, web search, image understanding, and agentic capabilities. It runs with Ollama models and is designed to be easy to modify and extend.

The goal is to provide a capable, local-first voice assistant that developers can actually inspect, customize, and build on.

Repository: https://github.com/MathObsession/Churo-assistant

or run it with(You need Ollama):

pip install churovoice

churovoice --voice male
