1 points · Open discussionHi! I'm the co-founder of https://snips.ai and we build a 100% on-device Voice AI platform.
The ASR and NLU are running on a Raspberry Pi 3, and best of all it is free and we are open-sourcing it, starting with the NLU https://github.com/snipsco/snips-nlu
https://medium.com/snips-ai/snips-nlu-is-an-open-source-priv...
The whole platform runs on-device which makes it ideal for privacy, cost, and to allow it to run when there is no network, from hotword to ASR and NLU
We are available in English, French, German, and soon Japanese and Korean, with more European languages coming!
Take a look at what some people have built with it: https://github.com/snipsco/awesome-snips
and a few tutorials to get you started: https://medium.com/snips-ai/building-a-voice-controlled-home...

We would love to see what you can build with it, and linking it to Ikea lights should be 10 lines of Python
