Is there a Configurable Assistant for Android?

I have a Pixel 3A with LineageOS.

You can squeeze the Pixel 3 to activate a shortcut which google called Active Edge. Lineage provides an reverse engineered implementation of that where you can set the action to one of the one shown in the image. I would like to set it to open a specific app (FossWallet) however that is not an option.

But as I do not have any Assistant App yet, I have some hopes now that there is some kind of app that acts as an “Assistant” which you can configure to your liking. eg. launching an App or some Automation. Does anybody know of an app like that? Preferable available on Fdroid.

  Dicio is almost what im looking for. I just wish I could configure it so it directly triggers some action without having to say it. Thanks for the recommendations :)

So a bit outside the box of your question. Home Assistant does have an option to replace the assistant on your phone. Could you try if this also shows up for the squeeze feature?

  Yea, not super conventional. I am able to set Home Assistant as my Assistant and because of that im also able to open it up with Active Edge. But sadly Home Assistant wants me to connect to an Hub which I do not have anymore. I think I also remember that could configure Home Assistant very well, but setting up an Hub just for that seems a bit overkill. :(

    Yhea but it’s good to know that HA is able to do so. To the menu/backend does support it. Just need to find the right app now I suppose
