I believe thatdevs know about Jasper and that they took quite a good look at it.
In FAQ, there is question âIs Mycroft based on the Jasper project?â
We looked at Jasper extensively, and had problems getting it to do what we want. Iâve reached out to the Jasper team about working together moving forward. Weâll see what they say!
@ryanleesipes did this thing appear on your radar before?

It seems that there is a lot of overlap in Mycroftâs and Aidoâs functionality and what they are trying to achieve, so there is potential for collaboration or partnership.
Seems like they have Chrome STT for voice recognition and Festival for speech if itâs installed. Will try to download and enable it on my machine so that I can test out what it can do. But even from project description I see that itâs missing Mycroftâs biggest advantage: skills / modularity in general.
Some time ago I ranted about how I would love to see whole open-source-AI community step together and check how everyoneâs goals align.
I made a short list of all the projects that fall in roughly the same category as Mycroft.
Getting contacts for some of them could be a bit trivial, but for those who have contacts, they should be invited to a mailing list or even some real-time discussion. Important topics would probably be:
Why did you decide to start a new project instead of taking and improving existing one?
What is current architecture of your intelligent personal assistant? How do you plan to implement the improvements?
Figure out whatâs the overlap in goals of all the projects. If enough overlap, propose working together.
