HiveMind is a community-developed superset or extension of OpenVoiceOS, the open-source voice assistant.

With HiveMind, you can extend one (or more, but usually just one!) instance of ovos-core to as many devices as you want, including devices that can't ordinarily run OpenVoiceOS!

HiveMind's developers have successfully connected to OpenVoiceOS from a PinePhone, a 2009 MacBook, and a Raspberry Pi 0, among other devices. OpenVoiceOS itself usually runs on our desktop computers or our home servers, but you can use any OpenVoiceOS-branded device as your central unit.

Work in progress documentation can be found in the docs

You can also join the Hivemind Matrix chat for general news, support and chit chat

By default HiveMind listens for the Open Voice OS bus on 127.0.0.1 which should not be changed when running as the same place. In some cases such as Kubernetes when the HiveMind Listener and Open Voice OS bus are in different pods, the HiveMind Listener should be able to connect to the pod address by using the ovos_bus_address and ovos_bus_port options.
