Sonos AI assistant

The Sonos AI assistant from Bonfire Terminal turns your messaging apps into a voice for your speakers. Running locally on Windows or Mac and driving Sonos through its API, it plays, groups, and balances audio across the house while your data never leaves your device.

Block 4 · FAQ

Sonos — questions

Can Bonfire automate Sonos?

Yes. Bonfire runs on your machine, holds your Sonos credentials locally, and a connected model (Claude, GPT, Gemini or Grok) drives the Sonos API to run the actions you ask for in chat.

Does my Sonos data go to the cloud?

Bonfire runs on your desktop and keeps your keys local — it isn't a SaaS holding your data. Only the specific request you approve is sent to your chosen AI model.

Which AI models can I use?

Any connected model — Claude, GPT, Gemini or Grok. A fully offline Llama model runs locally for private reasoning but can't reach live APIs.
