Laugh

September 5, 2026 · View on GitHub

This OpenVoiceOS skill makes your voice assistant cackle like a haunted, possibly malevolent spirit.

A ghostly face, laughing evilly.

About

The skill plays a maniacal, demented laugh at random or when you ask for one. It picks a random sound from a set of male, female, or robot laughs, each crazed enough to make you wonder if the assistant is haunted.

Install

pip install ovos-skill-laugh
