A smart speaker with a two-line README
The SUSI.AI Smart Box repo is essentially a hardware landing page with 1,500 stars and almost no documentation.

What it does SUSI.AI is an open-source voice assistant, and this repository appears to hold the “Smart Box” hardware implementation — presumably a Raspberry Pi-based smart speaker that runs the SUSI.AI stack. The README offers only the name and a URL. That’s it. No build instructions, no BOM, no photos.
The interesting bit The project lives under FOSSASIA, a well-known open-tech nonprofit, and has accumulated 1,535 stars despite the skeletal documentation. Either there’s a community elsewhere, or people are starring the idea of an open Siri-in-a-box.
Key highlights
- Tied to SUSI.AI, a broader open-source assistant ecosystem (server, clients, skills)
- FOSSASIA backing suggests event-driven development (their typical model: build at hackathons, iterate in public)
- No code visible in the default branch — possibly a meta-repo or hardware-only designs live elsewhere
- 1,535 stars with zero README detail is either impressive star-inflation or hidden activity in other branches
Caveats
- README is non-functional as documentation; you cannot build from this repo alone
- No candidate images even offered, suggesting no screenshots or renders in the repository
- Language field is “(none)” — no detectable code in standard GitHub indexing
Verdict Curious hardware hackers already in the SUSI.AI orbit might find breadcrumbs here. Everyone else should start at susi.ai or hunt for a sister repo with actual schematics.
