"In my mind vocal computing is the future of human-computer interaction" ...really though? That's the future? Not telepathic unspoken 1:1 mindmelding? Who wants to flap their vocal cords and waste breath having to talk to an anthropomorphic AI in the future if you can interact entirely through thought? I think the future you're hoping for is a bit...near term. With a shelf life.

If you really think about it every future is near term with a shelf life :)

I love the idea. Is adding long term memory on the roadmap? How does it handle conversations now? Do you give the text to text engine the last 15 messages or something?

Yeah adding memory is absolutely on the road map! For now everything is quite simple to allow for us to build over time but I plan to put a lot of work into the text to text engine in the coming months

My skepticism at such overaching efforts is usually quite high. Apologies for discriminating on name/using popularity contest metrics, but seeing @grvydev's name on the repo is... great ! They've become a proven master of web media already, pioneering low latency game-streaming with Lightspeed. They've selected really good off-the-shelf tech to work with for this effort. This is an effort I can believe in. Good stuff…

Thank you for the very kind words :)

Given how easily 24-hour access to mics and cameras can be abus… commercialized, I think I'd rather waste my breath.

Hey nerds: maybe include a brief explanation of what J.A.R.V.I.S. is in the readme just in case! J.A.R.V.I.S. is a fictional character voiced by Paul Bettany in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film franchise, based on the Marvel Comics characters Edwin Jarvis and H.O.M.E.R., respectively the household butler of the Stark family and another AI designed by Stark.

I was going to say when H.O.M.E.R. appeared, the name "Homer" had a different connotation, but actually the Simpsons started 4 years before the Marvel character was created.

In the future they will disconnect the telepathic mindmelding interface when they realise that the computer is better able to serve the user without the contradictions of what the user thinks they want.
