Irene-Voice-Assistant

Why we included this project

Irene is a Russian-language voice assistant that runs locally on a Python install, so it keeps working without any cloud account. It listens for commands that start with 'irina' and handles the rest through plugins: timers, coin flips, a dice roll, or a simple guessing game are all separate skills you can add or drop. That plugin layout is the main reason to look at it if you want to build your own commands, since a new skill mostly means writing one module. The assistant also ships optional plugins that can talk to ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity through any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, but you have to enable them, so the default setup stays fully offline. A Windows installer and bundled releases spare non-developers the pip setup, and the Russian-language documentation covers configuration in detail.
