The problem
[What should the assistant do, for whom, and under what constraints? Explain the motivation without assuming the reader knows the project.]
The system
[Replace the diagram below with the real architecture. Identify what runs locally, what uses a service, and what happens if that service is unavailable.]
Illustrative flow only; document the actual system.
What I built
[Describe your own contribution. Link to relevant source files or a specific commit. Separate your implementation from libraries and collaborators’ work.]
A decision worth explaining
[Compare two approaches you considered: recognition, audio capture, latency, privacy, or deployment. State what you selected and why.]
Testing & evidence
[Add your test setup, number of trials, hardware, and observed results. Include failures and limitations. Do not publish invented accuracy or latency figures.]
What I would change next
[Describe the most useful next improvement and the evidence that makes it a priority.]
