    Mycroft: Linux’s Own AI (Linux.com)
    Swapnil Bhartiya takes
    a look     at Mycroft AI and talks with CTO Ryan Sipes, on Linux.com. "Earlier this month, the developers released the Adapt intent parser as open source. When many people look at Mycroft, they think voice recognition is the important piece, but the brain of Mycroft is the Adapt intent. It takes natural language, analyzes the ultimate sentence, and then decides what action needs to be taken. That means when someone says “turn the lights off in the conference room,” Adapt grabs the intent “turn off” and identifies the entity as “conference room.” So, it makes a decision and then reaches out to whatever device is controlling the lights in the conference rooms and tells it to turn them off.

    That’s complex work. And, the Mycroft developers just open sourced the biggest and most powerful piece of their software.    "
