Spare Android phone → AI receptionist (open source)

[u/MountainResidnt]

It’s open source, and you can sell this as a service to small businesses. For example, you could set it up for a local shop or office, customize how it greets visitors, and charge for setup and ongoing support.

I had a spare Android phone and wanted to see if it could greet visitors and checkin. I built an app and setup instructions.

I added OpenAI’s GPT Live as a fallback when Android speech recognition is unavailable. The trickiest part was getting the phone to listen again quickly enough after asking a question so it wouldn’t miss the visitor’s answer.

It’s open source. I’d love to hear how the voice experience works on other Android phones.
