Similarly, I've started using Snips.ai in conjunction with Home Assistant, and I'm continuously overjoyed whenever I ask Snips to do anything, or I ask it for information, with the knowledge that everything is hosted on site, and everything is custom made specifically for what I want.

Hi! I'm the co-founder of https://snips.ai 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://github.com/snipsco/snips-nlu https://medium.com/snips-ai/snips-nlu-is-an-open-source-private-by-design-alternative-to-dialogflow-amazon-lex-and-other-nlu-a95dbe16f4a1 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 https://github.com/snipsco/awesome-snips and a few tutorials to get you started: https://medium.com/snips-ai/building-a-voice-controlled-home-sound-system-using-snips-and-sonos-2aaf16523ce9 https://medium.com/snips-ai/building-a-voice-controlled-home...

  Any recommendations for microphones, particularly in an environment with lots of flat surfaces (concrete/glass) and talkative people? Non-directional.

    I picked up the respeaker 4 mic array https://www.seeedstudio.com/ReSpeaker-4-Mic-Array-for-Raspberry-Pi-p-2941.html https://www.seeedstudio.com/ReSpeaker-4-Mic-Array-for-Raspbe... which works GREAT and has awesome RGBs that I can address.

  Hello there ! Please continue your work because im telling you, there is NO WAY I setup a corp cloud based voice listener. Your's is the only way i'm doing it. Might use a small snips gear as next xmas gift(s) :)

  Hi, can you roughly say how you guys plan to make money and how one can help you out? You guys tick a lot of boxes for me (rust, open source and privacy focused ML, europe...) so I want to help:)

  This is probably a dumb question but is there a way to train snips.ai to recognize my home music server’s collection of artists/albums/songs/playlists? I like Spotify but I’d also like to be able play my local music with voice commands.

    I vaguely recall discussion in the discord about snips.ai support of training via API calls, so in that sense you should be able to do it. I don't know what the status of the API training is.

That looks fantastic, thanks for pointing it out. I had been entertaining the idea of running my own STT server alongside mycroft to keep everything local ... snips.ai could be a much more simple solution.
