Theres Dicio, which honestly does all that I need a voice assistant to do, but I have to open the app to use it, I cant just say "Hey Dicio" or whatever. Is something like that possible?

I don't know if it fits all the prereqs of a FOSS, but there's mycroft and there's also jasper

But I have no idea how advanced they are, or how good their 3rd party integrations are.

Mycroft is defunct

They probably mean this: https://mycroft.ai/blog/update-from-the-ceo-part-1/

Wikipedia entry: "In early 2023, Mycroft AI ceased development."

FYI, a fork is being carried on by interested parties: https://community.mycroft.ai/t/faq-ovos-neon-and-the-future-of-the-mycroft-voice-assistant/13496

Probably for the best. They'd been spinning their wheels while sucking most of the oxygen out of the room for several years now. Time for somebody else to give it a go
