Linda

A private personal assistant that runs on its owner's own computer.

What it is

Linda is a self-hosted assistant you talk to by voice or text. It runs on a single workstation that belongs to its owner and is reachable only over that owner's private network. It is not a public service: there are no sign-ups, and it is used only by its owner and people the owner invites.

Google data

When its owner connects a Google account, Linda can read Gmail and Google Calendar to answer the owner's own questions, such as "what's new in my inbox" or "what's on my calendar tomorrow". It does this only when asked, or for reminders the owner sets up. See the privacy policy for exactly what is accessed and how it is handled.
