I'm the co-founder of https://snips.ai https://snips.ai, we are building a 100% on-device Voice AI platform to respect people privacy! We would love to see what you can do with what we are building and to feature you on our website !

Very cool. I'd love to use it, but... Any plans to release source code? I can't trust any privacy claims without seeing it.

  We want to open-source the platform later this year, you don't need an internet connection to use the platform so you can trust us!

Will this have the ability to replace an Alexa in terms of smart home integration/automation?

  This is what we want to build !

    Perfect, keep up the great work.I'm glad to hear of your project.The Alexa and accompanying hardware/software is one of the few non FOSS things I rely on within my home. I can't wait for a viable alternative!

I've done a little reading into making something along these lines using a Pi, Snowboy hotword detection, and one of the cloud APIs. Two things I'm curious about... 1) What are you using for hardware with the Pi? It seems a high quality microphone is important to this application and the only array microphone I've been able to find is the MATRIX creator which seems steep in price if I could just buy an Amazon Dot. 2) Your numbers indicate significantly better performance than Google. How are you able to achieve that? Where does your training data come from if nothing is supposedly leaving my device? I really strongly desire a system that wouldn't require relying on the cloud but I just don't know how you can get enough training data to be anywhere near as accurate as a cloud provider. That led me to thinking the next best thing would be a setup with Snowboy hotword detection where I know nothing is leaving my device until my own programmed hotword is spoken.

I have been searching for something like this and this looks amazing! Looking forward to trying this out. As others said, I'd feel more comfortable with an open codebase.

  Thanks, this is coming soon!
