This device is just the mic/speaker/wakeword part. It connects to home-assistant to do the decoding and automation.
You can test it right now by downloading home-assistant and running it on a pi or a VM. You can run all the voice assist stuff locally if you want. There are services for the voice to text, text to voice and what they call intents which are simple things like "turn off the lights in the office".
The cloud offering from Nuba Casa, not only funds the development of Home Assistant but also give remote access if you want it. As part of that you can choses to offload some of the voice/text services to their cloud so that if you are just running it on a Pi it will still be fast.
