There are a few projects doing this. This one piqued my interest as having a potentially nice UX after some maturity. https://github.com/OpenInterpreter/01

What Hacker News says
4 sourcesThe idea is to use a voice interface to actually perform "skills", like Alexa. Check out the prompt and you can get an idea of how they've set it up. So the LLM generates code that can then be executed to perform actions.

There don't seem to be many skills defined in this repo though, but I didn't look too hard. This software is the server, and then they have a small remote device that can talk to the server and it appears to use ngrok for that.

I totallly agree that the term "OS" is used for a lot of projects that are not actually what I would call an OS. My own employer is guilty of this. :) Yes, this seems to be just like UFO, and Rabbit, and other similar projects.
In 01 Light: a voice interface for your home computerThis is very cool and the demo is exciting...but I still don't know what this actually is.
From the repo[0] they refer to it as an operating system, but in all the install instructions and code it appears to be a program that still needs an OS to run, although I'm not clear what the requirements are. The demo makes it appear as if it were an LLM powered program that can interface with an existing OS, or is the actual product the voice device?
