Home Assistant is uniquely positioned to be the smart home platform for AI. As part of our Open Home values, we believe users own their own data (a novel concept, we know) and that they can choose what happens with it. That’s why Home Assistant stores all user data locally, including rich history, and it offers powerful APIs for anyone to build anything on top – no constraints. This makes Home Assistant the perfect foundation for anyone looking to build powerful AI-powered solutions for the smart home - something that is not possible with any of the other big platforms. As we have researched AI (more about that below), we concluded that there are currently no AI-powered solutions yet that are worth it. Instead, we are focusing on enabling experimentation. With the latest release of Home Assistant, any user can control their homes with LLMs and we're collaborating with NVIDIA to bring local LLMs to the smart home.
