SSGGGstart by defining where you want to go. make sure you know:
>what you want your home assistant to look like (physical device or chatting app?)
>how you want to interact with it (through a command line? on a website? by touchscreen? by voice?)
>what you want your assistant to actually do (organize calendar? write emails? turn off the lights? turn off the thermostat? answer questions?)
-if it helps, i really recommend writing down all of this by hand. do a sketch or mockup with a pencil and write bullet points. it helps a lot with organization
Gonce you have a final destination, consider how you want to get there. this means looking at what tools you will use to do what you are trying to do, do you need to program in python? html? js? do you need to do soldering or 3d printing?
Gmost importantly, start simple. you've got a lot of time in your life. start with a simple product: just a thing that can talk to you. maybe all it does is organize a simple calendar, that's honestly enough to start with. once you've got that done, you can ask it to process your emails, or install it in a physical device, then you can make it sense temperature, then you can make it control your fridge or whatever. as you go from simpler thing to less simple thing, it will build off of whatever you have and give you a better idea of where to go and how to get there.
