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)

1. Copy the app to a working directory (recommended):
   • cp -R <skill>/assets/app ~/maylo-voice-assistant
2. Create venv + install deps:
   • Run: scripts/install.sh ~/maylo-voice-assistant
3. Start the assistant (wake word + responder):
   • Run: scripts/run_assistant.sh ~/maylo-voice-assistant
4. 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.

Security / Privacy

• Do NOT package or commit:
  • OAuth client secrets, tokens, refresh tokens
  • Private certs/keys
• This skill ships no secrets. Any tokens/keys must be created on the target machine.
