This is cute, and definitely a good educational resource about mature foss HCI applications, but this will not give the degree of quality that many have come to expect from assistants as simple as even Amazon's Alexa. Sirius is much closer to what you want.

If you're interested in this stuff (AI, Cybernetics, ML, etc) come jump on Playa with me. http://getplaya.com/

Just a tip.

I do not understand what kind and what for your service is. Poor presentation in your website.

Is this a self contained project that does not need internet connection to do speech recognition/synthesis?

Is this a self-hosted solution or anything is being sent to the "cloud"? Strangely site's FAQ did not answer this.

It can be entirely self hosted, though there are options that use voice services from AT&T and Google. And of course any plugins that use cloud services would of course send data to the cloud. But it can be configured self contained.

I think the next step in coding will be VR to visualise objects (classes, modules, methods, lambdas, basic language concepts) and speech to command the text editor to edit line numbers or swap lines or indent, change words etc... basically things vim can do but with voice.

Does anyone know whats the best "method" te convert voice into commands? I previously ran into https://wit.ai/ which seems pretty good. But i don't have any hands-on experience. Edit: I just noticed that Jasper can use wit.ai under the hood ( http://jasperproject.github.io/documentation/configuration/#... ).

I won't comment on the "best" here as they all have their respective differences, but consider signing up for the Nuance Mix developer platform Beta: https://developer.nuance.com/mix ; we're offering full control custom ASR+NLU.

Ok, rereading FAQ found "None of this information ever leaves the Pi" for information in my profile. Still interesting what cloud services are being used, but this probably is on a per-module basis.

It certainly seems to be per-module, for example: http://jasperproject.github.io/documentation/configuration/#...

Some site design advice: The Home link didn't tell me anything about what Jasper could do. I clicked About, and it stayed on the same page, jumped down, and also didn't tell me what it could do.

I had to get to Documentation, then Usage, then scroll down to find out what Jasper could do. This is critical information to an assistant, you've gotta make that more available to us.

You also should avoid advertising features not available yet. "Control your home" is mentioned, but no home automation devices are listed as modules. Anything that can control your home should have a list of the hardware it works with readily available.

After a casual read: yes, I believe so, in that it does not require 3rd party API's. You do still need to run it on a server that your client device can connect to. If your goal is an assistant that does not report back to Apple/Google/MSFT/Amazon, then Sirius looks like another good option.
