Just for fun, I asked chatGPT. I know it gets things wrong a lot of times and sometimes gives incomplete answers, but here is how the conversation went. Anyone have any other ideas or know if I don’t need to do all this?
To achieve the functionality you’re describing with a local AI on your NC-AIO (Nextcloud All-In-One), you’d likely need to implement a combination of AI tools, Nextcloud apps, and some custom scripting or integration. Here’s a breakdown of what you want to do and how it might be possible:
- Tracking Events in MC Calendar:
- Can the AI tell you how many times you went to Ralphs last year and give you the dates?
- Possibility: Yes, this could be done if your calendar events are structured with consistent keywords (e.g., “Ralphs”). The AI would need to parse the calendar data, search for entries matching “Ralphs,” and then count and list them. This could be automated with some custom code or scripting that interacts with your calendar.
- Searching Documents for Specific Topics:
- Can the AI find all documents that talk about UFOs and list them?
- Possibility: Yes, with the help of an AI document search engine or tool. If your documents are indexed, the AI could search for keywords like “UFO” and return a list of relevant files. This could be integrated using tools like ElasticSearch with Nextcloud or other AI-powered document search solutions.
- Analyzing Budget Spreadsheet:
- Can the AI calculate how much you spent on restaurants in February?
- Possibility: Yes, if the spreadsheet is structured in a way that categorizes expenses, the AI could parse the data, filter for restaurants in February, and then sum the amounts. You’d likely need a plugin or a custom script that allows the AI to access and interact with your spreadsheet.
- Adding and Managing Calendar Events:
- Can the AI add a doctor’s appointment in your NC calendar and set a reminder?
- Possibility: Yes, this is feasible. Many AI tools can interact with calendar APIs to create events and set reminders. You’d need to ensure the AI has access to the calendar API or uses an existing integration within Nextcloud.
- Voice Interaction:
- Can the AI have a voice and talk to you?
- Possibility: Yes, you can give the AI a voice using text-to-speech (TTS) engines like Google’s TTS or other open-source options. This would allow the AI to read out responses instead of or in addition to typing them out.
- Integration with Android Phone:
- Can the AI be integrated with your Android phone?
- Possibility: Yes, you can integrate the AI with your Android phone. This could be done through a mobile app, a web interface, or even via voice assistants like Google Assistant if compatible. For more direct control, you might use a custom app or a web-based interface that connects to your Nextcloud AI instance.
Implementation Considerations:
- Local AI: Setting up a local AI capable of these tasks might involve using open-source AI frameworks (e.g., GPT-J, LLaMA) and integrating them with your Nextcloud instance.
- Data Security: Since this would involve access to personal data, ensure that the AI is set up with proper security measures.
- Customization: You might need to write custom scripts or use Nextcloud apps/plugins to provide the specific functionalities you need.
This setup would require some technical know-how to get everything working together, but it’s certainly possible. Would you like more detailed guidance on any specific part of this process?

yes I would like detail on how to set these up on every step, but not using scripts

Setting up a local AI on your NC-AIO (Nextcloud All-In-One) without using custom scripts to achieve the functionalities you’re interested in is still possible, but it will rely heavily on existing Nextcloud apps, integrations, and possibly some manual configuration. Here’s a step-by-step guide for each task you want to achieve:
1. Tracking Events in NC Calendar
Objective: AI tracks and lists how many times you went to Ralphs last year and gives you the dates.
Steps:
- Step 1: Install Nextcloud Calendar App: Make sure you have the Calendar app installed and configured in Nextcloud.
- Step 2: Use Tags/Keywords: When creating calendar events, include a consistent tag or keyword like “Ralphs” in the event title or description.
- Step 3: Use Full Text Search App: Install the Full Text Search app and its Calendar extension. This allows you to search your calendar for specific keywords.
- Step 4: Search and Count: Use the search function in the Calendar app to find all events containing “Ralphs” for the last year. Manually count the results and list the dates.
2. Searching Documents for Specific Topics
Objective: AI finds all documents that talk about UFOs and lists them.
Steps:
- Step 1: Install Full Text Search App: Install the Full Text Search app in Nextcloud, along with the necessary connectors for the file types you store (PDFs, Word documents, etc.).
- Step 2: Index Your Files: Allow the Full Text Search app to index all documents stored in Nextcloud.
- Step 3: Search for Keywords: Use the search function in Nextcloud to look for the keyword “UFO”. The app will return a list of all documents that contain the term.
3. Analyzing Budget Spreadsheet
Objective: AI calculates how much you spent on restaurants in February.
Steps:
- Step 1: Install ONLYOFFICE or Collabora Online: These apps allow you to edit spreadsheets directly within Nextcloud.
- Step 2: Organize Spreadsheet Data: Make sure your budget spreadsheet categorizes expenses properly, with categories like “Restaurants” and dates listed.
- Step 3: Use Built-in Functions: Use the built-in functions in ONLYOFFICE or Collabora (like
SUMIF or FILTER) to manually calculate how much was spent on restaurants in February. The AI can’t automate this without scripts, but you can manually use these tools to get the data.
4. Adding and Managing Calendar Events
Objective: AI adds a doctor’s appointment to your NC calendar and sets a reminder.
Steps:
- Step 1: Use the Calendar App: Make sure the Calendar app is installed and configured in Nextcloud.
- Step 2: Create Event Manually: Open the Calendar app, click on the date you want to add the appointment, and enter the details (e.g., December 5, 2014).
- Step 3: Set a Reminder: Within the event creation window, you can set a reminder for the event (e.g., one day before, one hour before).
5. Voice Interaction
Objective: Give the AI a voice to talk to you.
Steps:
- Step 1: Use Nextcloud Talk App: Install the Nextcloud Talk app. While it’s more of a chat and video tool, it can be a starting point for integrating voice interaction.
- Step 2: Integrate with a Voice Assistant: Use a third-party service like Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, which can be connected to your Nextcloud instance through available integrations. These services can read out your calendar events, reminders, and even some documents.
- Step 3: Explore External Tools: For more advanced voice interaction, consider using external tools like Mycroft AI, which can be integrated with Nextcloud using existing APIs.
6. Integration with Android Phone
Objective: Integrate AI with your Android phone.
Steps:
- Step 1: Install Nextcloud Mobile App: Install the official Nextcloud app on your Android phone.
- Step 2: Sync Calendar, Contacts, and Files: Use the app to sync your calendar, contacts, and files between Nextcloud and your phone.
- Step 3: Use Android Integration: Leverage Android’s built-in voice assistant to interact with Nextcloud data (e.g., checking your calendar, reminders).
- Step 4: Use Third-party Apps: Consider using third-party apps like DAVx5 (for calendar and contacts) or integrating with Tasker for more complex workflows on your phone that interact with Nextcloud.
Summary
- AI for Document Search: Full Text Search app.
- Calendar Management: Use the Nextcloud Calendar app and search manually.
- Spreadsheet Analysis: Use ONLYOFFICE or Collabora Online.
- Voice Interaction: Use Nextcloud Talk or external voice assistants.
- Android Integration: Use the Nextcloud app and Android’s voice assistant features.
This approach should provide you with the capabilities you need using existing Nextcloud features and third-party integrations, without the need for custom scripts.
