Last week we did that State of the open house and it contained a demo of genius.
Genie is an open, privacy-protecting virtual assistant from Stanford OVAL. During the impressive demo, they showed the latest skills. The demos run on a Baidu speaker with custom firmware and on a Pi Zero. Either way, it connects to the Genie server, which runs as the official Home Assistant add-on, to do its magic.
Genie is the successor to the Almond project. With the help of various grants and sponsors, Stanford is working to make Genie ready for general use.
