# OpenHome

> Platform and SDK for building custom AI voice agents and smart devices

OpenHome is an operating system and voice SDK for creating conversational AI agents on the web and hardware devices. It lets users configure custom agent personalities, clone voices, choose underlying LLMs like GPT-4o, and tune real-time conversation dynamics like auto-interruption. Developers can also deploy agents to local Linux hardware, dev kits, and smart home appliances.
