## What it is
AlexaPi is an open-source Python client for Amazon's Alexa voice service designed to run on devices like Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, CHIP, and ordinary Linux or Windows desktops. It turns single-board computers and desktops into Alexa-enabled voice assistants with support for GPIO buttons and LEDs.

## Use cases
- build a DIY Alexa smart speaker with Raspberry Pi
- add Amazon Alexa voice control to a single-board computer
- run an Alexa voice assistant on a Linux desktop
- create a voice-activated assistant with a push button and LED indicators
- turn an Orange Pi or CHIP board into an Alexa client

## When to choose
- you want to experiment with Alexa on hobby hardware like Raspberry Pi
- you need a customizable open-source Alexa client with GPIO accessory support
- you are maintaining an existing AlexaPi installation

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the project is no longer in active development
- you want a supported Alexa client - consider respeaker/avs instead
- you need production-grade voice assistant reliability
