Here is a free offline virtual assistant Android app. You can use it as an offline alternative to Google Assistant. You can ask or type questions and it will response to those questions based on the available data. Whether you want to ask about the temperature, listen to a joke, or you have some other queries, you can ask for that and it will give you the answer. The name of this offline virtual assistant is “Bestee“. It also works with apps like Spotify, YouTube, etc., to play tracks for you. Just type your question or speak and it will do that.
The results provided by Bestee virtual assistant are good. However, you may not get answers for many questions. For an example, it won’t sing a song for you. Still, the app is good if you care for your privacy. Also, it will be faster as the answers are already stored in the database and it doesn’t require internet connection to respond to you. It will be more and more useful with the updates.
