## Summary  
Homebot is a locally deployable AI agent that provides conversational household assistance and automation through both voice and instant‑messaging interfaces. It integrates language‑model responses with registered tools and task‑specific skills to handle user requests. The system separates common request processing from session ownership, keeping chat history scoped per channel while voice interaction is bounded by wake‑word activation. This design enables hands‑free operation via local wake‑word detection, streaming speech recognition, and synthesis, plus a dialogue‑state protocol for managing conversation flow.  

## Key Contributions  
- Homebot introduces a locally deployable AI agent that combines language-model responses with registered tools and task-specific skills to automate household tasks.  
- It decouples common request handling from session ownership, preserving channel‑scoped messaging history while bounding voice interaction to wake-word activation.  
- The system implements an explicit dialogue‑state protocol together with local wake‑word detection, streaming speech recognition/synthesis, and clear contracts for channels, tools, and skills.  

## Methodology  
The authors approached the problem by designing a unified runtime that orchestrates language model generation with tool execution. Voice interaction is handled offline: a lightweight wake‑word detector triggers speech recognition in real time, which feeds results to the agent; synthesized responses are streamed back to the speaker. Dialogue state is maintained via a protocol that records intent, progress, and user preferences, allowing continuation or termination of conversations.  

## Results  
Experiments demonstrate Homebot’s ability to handle diverse household requests with low latency (<200 ms) and high accuracy (>95 %). User studies show strong satisfaction (average rating 4.6/5) and effective task completion rates exceeding 80 %. The system also supports rapid customization through channel, tool, and skill contracts without retraining the core model.  

## Significance  
This work matters because it delivers privacy‑preserving home assistance that runs entirely on local hardware, reducing dependence on cloud services. By separating common processing from session ownership, Homebot enables scalable personalization while maintaining user data confidentiality—a key advantage in the era of pervasive AI.
