Question Are there any good voice assistant apps other than Google Assistant ?

[denzil]

I'm looking for a simple voice assistant than can perform simple tasks (like playing music) even with the screen locked.

Preferably open source or privacy oriented. Bonus points if you can customise the activation phrase

Welcome to Android Central forums. Here are a few questions to help us.

What phone do you have?

Have you tried Google Gemini?

What are you using now?

Some assistants cannot be used on all devices. For example, Bixby only works on Samsung devices, Siri on Apple devices, this why we need to know what you use.

I found this video that may be more helpful to you and there are several on YouTube that compare these assistants and what they can, cannot, and won't do.

Let us know what you find.
