Music Core
Browse Search, Genres, Artists, Albums, and Tater Recommendations from a live player that understands rooms, preferred speakers, listening history, and your own media library.
Local AI, throughout your home
One private assistant for every room.
Talk from a Tater satellite, the WebUI, Little Spud, or your favorite chat portal. Tater carries the right Person, room, devices, music, memory, and permissions into every turn.

What changed
Tater has grown into a room-aware AI and media platform.
The biggest current capabilities, brought forward so you do not have to discover them one old page at a time.
Stereo pairs
Turn two Tater Native satellites into one calibrated left/right destination with shared starts, channel routing, playhead telemetry, and synchronized TTS ducking.
Multi-room playback
Play across native satellites, Sonos, stereo pairs, integration media players, or mixed groups while temporary voice replies duck the music instead of stopping it.
A new local WebUI
Tater's main workspaces now share a fast Vue 3 interface with responsive cards, stable live updates, compact controls, smoother dialogs, and the orange-and-gray Tater theme.
Background System Tasks
Slow discovery and recurring Core work run outside page loads, with last run, next run, state, errors, and Run Now gathered under one Settings tab.
People and trusted identity
The newest portal or voice event decides who is speaking. Master People link accounts and voices without letting old shared-channel history inherit another user's name or tools.
Smarter device control
One Device Control Verba handles lights, switches, plugs, fans, covers, locks, climate, media players, scenes, scripts, and more with AI selection for ambiguous devices.
Reachy can look and respond
Reachy Vision captures a fresh authenticated snapshot for questions such as 'what do you see?' while expressive tracking and motion continue through Tater's segmented speech.
Music Core
Your library. The right room. Still playing after Tater speaks.
Ask for an album, artist, genre, song, or recommendation and let room context choose the destination. The same live player stays available for browsing, queue changes, speaker selection, seeking, and volume.

Tater today
Private AI, a whole-home music player, and one polished local control center.
The current Tater brings voice, media, devices, automations, people, cores, and live system work together without turning the WebUI into a collection of separate apps.
- Browse and play your own music through Tater Tube, Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, or Navidrome, then send it to a room, stereo pair, Sonos group, or synchronized set of satellites.
- Use the locally bundled Vue WebUI for the Dashboard, Chat, Music, Integrations, Verbas, Portals, Cores, Spudex, Voice, Settings, and live runtime state.
- Pair Tater Native satellites securely, run microWakeWord on-device, verify wakes with fast STT, and keep 30 days of voice statistics in Redis.
- Let cached System Tasks refresh devices, satellites, models, hardware, Dashboard briefs, recommendations, memory, security, feeds, and other Core work in the background.
- Control devices through one room- and alias-aware Device Control Verba, with dedicated Camera Control and Reachy Vision for current visual questions.
What Tater does
Tater plans, acts, and connects across your stack.
Local-first by design
Tater, its modern WebUI, enabled cores, speech models, and device state run on the system you control, with local command-line, Docker, Home Assistant, Unraid, and macOS paths.
Modular integrations
Integrations live in Tater_Integrations and download only when enabled, so new providers can expose devices, actions, and web search without editing Tater core.
Capability-driven devices
Cores can ask for all cameras, speakers, garage doors, sensors, lights, weather sources, or search providers across every enabled integration.
Search provider choice
search_web can use enabled providers such as SearXNG, Brave Search, Google Custom Search, or Serper instead of one baked-in backend.
Smart chaining
Hydra breaks work into steps, picks the next tool, and keeps going until the task is done.
Spudex terminal workbench
Spudex gives Tater a console-style tab for direct assistant chat, manual commands, tracked sessions, policy controls, and Hydra-accessible terminal tools.
Guardian Core
Guardian watches network inventory, source health, posture scoring, AI findings, device trust, watch checks, and guided security confirmations from a dark Tater-themed UI.
Fast, cached Dashboard
The default Dashboard uses background snapshots and masonry sections for health, environment imagery, awareness events, voice devices, Speaker ID, and Emotion ID without blocking page load.
Tater Voice
Tater Voice is built into Tater, powering paired native satellites with local microWakeWord, trusted room context, intercom, wake arbitration, live controls, reply routing, logs, and native operator screens.
Tater S3Box displays
ESP32-S3-BOX-3 displays can run a Tater LVGL firmware with sensor bubbles, weather history bars, voice states, tool-call visuals, and camera snapshot notifications.
Firmware recovery
The Voice firmware tab matches prebuilt signed images by board and revision, then supports OTA, Browser USB, live logs, and safe-mode recovery without a local compile.
Voice identity and tone
Speaker ID and Emotion ID can warm SpeechBrain models, detect enrolled speakers or tone, and pass useful context into voice turns.
People identity layer
Settings -> People creates master users that link portal accounts and Tater Voice identities, with scoped per-person response instructions.
Display notifications
Tater apps and cores can publish display events with text, images, snapshots, and tool-progress metadata to targeted Tater Voice screens.
Local wake and intercom
Satellites run microWakeWord locally with built-in, catalog, or securely trainer-published models, while intercom can target individual devices, rooms, stereo pairs, or broader groups.
Environment-aware sensors
Environment Core supplies normalized readings for displays and dashboard briefs, including Ecowitt rain, Ecobee remote sensors, and Fahrenheit/Celsius conversion.
Local LLMs and vision
Tater can run Base, Hydra, and vision models through llama.cpp GGUF, Hugging Face Transformers, and MLX Engine, with runtime tuning, chat templates, and live debug output.
OpenAI-compatible API
External apps can call Tater through /v1/models and /v1/chat/completions in Direct or Hydra mode, protected by a local API key.
Hugging Face integration
A saved Hugging Face token can be injected into model download environments for private, gated, or higher-rate model pulls.
Beast Mode routing
Base servers can run normal AI calls while Chat/Astraeus/Thanatos/Minos/Hermes optionally route to per-head models.
Redis control + encryption
Redis setup, connectivity checks, live encrypt/decrypt controls, persistent voice statistics, and runtime caches are managed directly in WebUI settings.
API key protection
Portal routes on the main Tater port can be locked behind X-Tater-Token so companion apps and integrations use shared API keys.
Core layer
Downloadable cores add automation, awareness, environment, Guardian, memory, music, personal intelligence, RSS, scheduling, and Tater Tube without bloating the base runtime.
Verbas
Actions speak louder than words. Standalone Verbas extend Tater into smart-home, media, camera, vision, note, download, and admin workflows.
Portals + integrations + cores
One assistant. Verbas, portals, integrations, and cores.
