Ohh that's exciting. I was excited about Snips when it came out for similar reasons but was really annoyed when they advertised custom trigger words so hard and then withheld it in the premium version. On first glance, hmmm: why does this open source AI require that I create an account on their webpage before trying it out?

Hi, I'm a co-founder of Snips.ai First, there is no premium version. The whole platform is free to use. Forever. And we are starting to open-source it. For the trigger words, I think there is a slight confusion about what the are. There are actually two kinds of trigger words: - ones which are universal, and are very hard to train (it takes a lot of data and use NN models). Those are paid because we need to get the data (this is the only reason) - ones which are much simpler and can be trained on your device. This will come in the next release of the platform! Stay tuned for the next release where the personal hotword is coming!

  You didn’t really answer the question of why one needs to create an account.

    Because that particular question was not targeted at Snips, but at Mycroft.

      Definitely seems directed at Snips if you read the parent and then the comment from Snips rep.

  Thanks for the info. I was told "We currently provide custom hotwords only in our enterprise offer." so I just equated that to a premium version. Looking forward to seeing the simple device-only trained words. I have a local-only setup so cloud connections of any kind are deal-breakers for my personal use case.
