Do you like the idea of creating a digital assistant to do your bidding? Well that's exactly what we'll be doing in this video, using a version of the free and open source Mycroft software called Picroft, which (you guessed it) is specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi.

Unfortunately it doesn't make coffee, but for many other day to day tasks, the voice assistant can be extremely useful. You may soon be wondering how you ever got by without one.

So dust off that spare Pi you've got stashed in the back of a drawer somewhere (a few cheap accessories will also be required) and get ready to build your very own personal assistant.
