I've searched the internet a bit, but couldn't find what I was looking for.

I saw Leon, but it doesn't have an android client, for example.

Is there good assistances, that you can self host and use on your phone? and that can perform actions like make a phone call, play music, send WhatsApp etc?

I'm not a big user of these, but recently I used Google Assistant and found it was very convenient in my case. So ofc I wanted the benefit without all the spying.

Would ideally look for something that I can self host on my VPS (oracle cloud) and run a client on Android.

thanks!

There's a YouTuber called NetworkChuck who has a few videos on hooking Home Assistant up to Ollama. Here's the first one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvbVePuP7NY

(I find his style to be slightly bombastic and annoying, but the info seems good.)

Liked especially because of the comment about network Chuck being bombastic and annoying.
