## What it is
GassistPi is a Python application that turns single board computers like the Raspberry Pi into a Google Assistant-powered voice assistant. It packages the Google Assistant SDK with wake-word detection (Snowboy) and voice command handling for DIY smart speaker projects.

## Use cases
- build a google assistant smart speaker with raspberry pi
- add voice control to my raspberry pi project
- diy google home alternative on single board computer
- wake word detection on raspberry pi zero
- run google assistant on raspberry pi 3
- voice activated home automation with raspberry pi

## When to choose
- you want a self-built Google Assistant device on a Raspberry Pi or other SBC
- you need offline wake-word detection with Snowboy
- you want a customizable voice assistant with voice command scripting

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the project is no longer maintained since 2022
- you need a production-grade commercial voice assistant
- you rely on Google Assistant SDK features that may have changed since the project was abandoned
