Really cool! Perhaps you could also take a look at what we are building at https://snips.ai (disclaimer: I'm a co-founder) to make a 100% on-device and private-by-design Voice AI which runs even on a RaspberryPi 3 it would be awesome to do this on a raspi, without requiring internet connection!

This would be so awesome! I'm wondering how Snips.ai functions with no internet connection? I'm an early stage programmer with not much RaspPi experience unfortunately. Is it just a closed circuit for home automation. How does it fetch data for tasks that need external servers to update?

I think this approach will need a great more deal of maturity before I start programming in the way demonstrated in the video.

This looks neat! Is it possible to get started without creating an account on your website? I couldn't figure out how, but I figured there must be a way if it's "100% on-device".

Hi spacehome, you need to create an account in order to use the webconsole to build the assistant (create intents and queries), then once this is done you can use it 100% on-device!

You guys are are also incentivizing for app work done via the console / added to platform right? For a serious dev with experience in app deployment what could I look forward to?

Most of my background is in data security so this is definitely up my alley.

I put it in the catagory kids education. Alexa only supports the kids section in the US right now. I may change that so it can be accessed worldwide.

I ask it for my code it and Alexa says, oddly and quickly, "0irk.". That code is not accepted.

I have personally been playing with Snips. It has been an exciting project to work with. I do need some help with certain things, but reddit has been a good source of information.

If you are interested in state-of-the-art voice coding, I recommend this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRyYIIFKsdU

I have that and several other resources on a Github page:

I guess things have moved on from this Perl-Vista nightmare, I was personally looking forward to having all the coders around me screaming at their desktops in a fit of frustration and rage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzJ0CytAsec
