Do you really call this a game changer AI app? I've hacked up much more powerful script for bash and OSX doing way complicated operations.

mind sharing it?

Is there a goal to add speech processing atop this?

Since most (all?) devices now have speech recognition built in, this'll plug into those easily. I'm also going to let developers plug their own in if they have better stuff than Google etc

Not sure how but I almost thought this engine would recognise speech and carry out actions. The demo is nice. That said, SQL Server had a language processing plugin which could translate normal text to a SQL query, this was back in the days. Which languages do you support?

Speech processing is a secondary issue. Others are working on it, and it's basically a solved problem for the most part.

I don't know about SQL's natural language support, so I won't comment.

As for languages, the technology is independent of particular languages, so you can in principle add modules for, say, core Mandarin vocabulary, and then write your apps for Mandarin. I only speak English, however, so I can only add core vocab for that. :\

Is this a local server or is a remote service?

The bulk of it will be in the cloud. Aside from letting me make improvements that then get reflected in all apps LE is embedded in without updates to them, it also lets developers add new vocabulary and conversation patterns that they missed before, so that they can actually make their app's AI better without users having to update.

There are also interesting possibilities of cross-pollinating apps, so that as more developers use LE, its out-of-the-box capabilities grow. There's no reason, for instance, that developers should be re-inventing the wheel each time someone builds an app or a robot or whatever. Imagine if every human was born with the cumulative knowledge and skills of all previous humans. Now imagine you can do that with AI.

You could use your parser as a language model to improve recognition along the lines of things that would actually parse correctly, I suppose. That's probably much of a micro-optimization, though.
