Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
The README states the project is still in active development and not ready for regular use yet.
Comandarr is a voice and chat bot that lets you control your media library using natural commands. If you use Sonarr, Radarr, or Lidarr, apps that automatically download TV shows, movies, and music, this bot acts as a conversational interface to them. Instead of logging into a web dashboard, you can tell the bot "download Supergirl" or ask "am I missing any episodes from Arrow?" and it handles the request for you. The bot works by connecting to these media apps through integrations with platforms you already use. Currently it supports Google Home and Slack, so you can give commands via voice on a Google Home device or type requests in a Slack channel. The README lists several other integrations planned for the future, like Alexa, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger, though people can vote on which ones matter most to them. At its core, the bot understands what you're asking for and translates that into commands your media apps understand. You can ask it to download shows, check for missing episodes, or find out what's releasing this week. The goal is to make managing a media library feel less like tinkering with software and more like talking to an assistant. Important caveat: The README makes very clear that this project is still in active development and not ready to use yet. The deploy buttons aren't finalized, and the features shown are examples of what it will do once complete. If you're interested in testing it early, there's a sign-up form for a public beta group, but expect things to break or not work as described.
