Snips Voice Platform

@robjama Thanks brother! The Snips Voice Platform allows anyone to build an AI powered voice assistant with ease. This is the first end-to-end platform to offer on-device ASR and NLU, while protecting user privacy. The Snips Assistant can be configured easily through our web console, which includes the ability to select from pre-built assistants or to create completely custom ones. The assistant can then be deployed to a RaspberryPi, to Linux or Android, with more platforms coming soon. Come give it a try! www.snips.ai

Check it out in action here:

@chevreuil totally, it's time we stop saying we have to chose between AI and Privacy!

@randhindi @chevreuil I would never say we don't need more privacy, but I wouldn't say this is the first AI-powered voice assistant "with privacy". That's misleading. Siri already protects your privacy extremely well. For instance, "When we do send information to a server, we protect your privacy by using anonymized rotating identifiers so that searches and locations can’t be traced to you personally." https://www.apple.com/privacy/ap...

@benjmerritt thanks 🙌 There are two ways to use Snips today: - as a maker, or for prototyping on a Raspberry Pi, you can use our web console and build your assistant yourself, for free - as a commercial product maker, we can make a build that will run on your device, on any platform (Android, Linux, etc..) The whole thing is written in Rust, so it can cross-compile and works super fast!

@scottbowler We are building the platform itself, in order for companies to become independant of Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft. The idea is to provide the same or better quality of AI while respecting user privacy. We will try to be compatible with the Alexa intents to allow device builders to switch easily to our platform

@mael_p Still just getting my head around this (sorry!) - so I have a platform that allows customers to manage content. Could I use Snips to allow my customers to control their actions via voice control, or does each customer need to use snips and integrate it with my platform?

@scottbowler Our platform is made for connected devices, so a device maker would use Snips to translate speech into a structured meaning representation which allows his software to understand the meaning of the user query. He can then do what he wants with the query, and can for instance integrate to your platform. We will later build a Skill Store which allows service providers like you to provide pre-built code that device makers can add in 1 click to their device if they want to let their users integrate easily with your platform

@mael_p Sounds a very interesting concept - I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on it - good luck with the launch!

@scottbowler Thanks!
