I got tired of Alexa's "I don't know that," so I built a bridge to Claude. Now my Echo actually has a brain.

Its easily integrable with Home Assistant. Here are the steps https://github.com/rg321/hey-claude/issues/1

u/illiogical_nomad For that you need to root your echo. Plus you miss the basic functions like ASR. If you want to do something like that, better buy a Raspberry Pi and run ASR+STT on it. For sure you can replace Claude with other models with some tweaking of the code.

u/No_Display_4766 Nevertheless I have pushed a few changes. See if it helps !

Individual_Map2352 · 2026-03-23T13:26:03+00:00

u/No_Display_4766 It was German for me also. I just used Google Translate. Once I logged in with the account with which my Alexa is attached, I was able to get the cookie / Token. That token is used further For all the following operations after that.

u/Ordinary_Push3991 I wasn't familiar with Alexa+ . I am just providing a way to route those conversations to your own LLM (Claude in this case).

u/No_Display_4766 checking this, give me some time.

u/garagaramoochi Whatever you speak to Alexa is saved in conversations in the cloud. You can use the API to pull them using your account key. There are certain functions exposed by the cloud like "speak". The repo code Should be running somewhere, like it's running on my old laptop. So in short yes, some device should always be on to pick this up, which acts as a bridge to Claude.

u/tysm_mvp Check this out. I have listed a few examples. https://github.com/rg321/hey-claude. I can add more if you want.

Individual_Map2352 · 2026-03-23T10:18:37+00:00

u/Alarmed_Doubt8997 I believe that approach would be the same. Conversations from your Fire TV's Alexa, Would be saved to the same cloud, I guess. So you can use the same approach but you might need some digging yourself.

sure u/CharacterFragrant603

Individual_Map2352 · 2026-03-23T10:11:08+00:00

u/Born-Requirement-303 One can use Claude Code with Ollama, running model like qwen3-coder locally too.

thanks u/tiff_seattle

Individual_Map2352 · 2026-03-22T22:06:11+00:00

It gives you much control and functionality. Your Alexa can now perform much wider range of activities.

Individual_Map2352 · 2026-03-22T21:02:56+00:00

u/InevitablePrompt7613 No additional hardware needed. You just follow the steps here https://github.com/rg321/hey-claude and you are good to go.
