Maylo Voice Assistant

Offline-first voice assistant stack for macOS (Wake word + VAD recording + local Whisper ASR + OpenClaw agent response + offline TTS via macOS say). Use to install, run, and troubleshoot the Maylo voice assistant web UI (cyberpunk dashboard with waveform + push-to-talk over WebSocket) and the always-on wake-word listener (e.g., 'Hey Jarvis') on a Mac mini.

Maylo Voice Assistant (macOS)

What this skill ships

A self-contained app under assets/app/:
- Wake word listener (openWakeWord)
- VAD recording (webrtcvad)
- Local ASR (faster-whisper)
- Responder bridge via OpenClaw (openclaw agent --local)
- Offline TTS via say -v Yelda
- Web UI (HTTPS + WebSocket audio streaming)

Install / Setup (fresh machine)

Copy the app to a working directory (recommended):
- cp -R <skill>/assets/app ~/maylo-voice-assistant
Create venv + install deps:
- Run: scripts/install.sh ~/maylo-voice-assistant
Start the assistant (wake word + responder):
- Run: scripts/run_assistant.sh ~/maylo-voice-assistant
Start the HTTPS web UI for phone mic streaming:
- Run: scripts/run_web_https.sh ~/maylo-voice-assistant --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8443
- On iPhone/Android (same Wi‑Fi): https://<mac-ip>:8443
- Accept the self-signed certificate warning.

Normal use

Wake word: say "Hey Jarvis" near the Mac mini, then speak your query.
Web UI: hold the mic button to talk; release to send.

Troubleshooting (fast)

Check logs:
- recordings/assistant.log
- recordings/responder.log
- recordings/web.log
If wake word never triggers, run the minimal tester:
- python jarvis_minimal_test.py
If the assistant responds to itself (feedback loop):
- Set HDMI output back to Mac speakers / use headphones.
- Increase MAYLO_POST_SAY_INHIBIT_SEC.
