This Smart Home Speaker actually understands me EVERY time, can answer ANY question, and is able to control ANY Smart Home Device—all without needing an internet connection. If you're looking for the best Alexa alternative, frustrated by Alexa misunderstanding you, or tired of smart home commands failing when your internet goes down, this might be what you’ve been waiting for.

Can it control any smart home device better than Alexa? And is this finally the answer for those wanting a smart speaker that works offline and protects your privacy?
