You can't trust the large companies who have a culture of profiting off your data to protect your privacy.<p>This is why we need AI at the edge, and not in the clouds, and Privacy-by-design thinking in our architectures. This is the only way for people to know their data won't be compromised and misused, because it never leaves their devices.<p>Disclaimer: I'm a co-founder of <a href="https://snips.ai" rel="nofollow">https://snips.ai</a> and we are building a 100% on-device and private-by-design platform to build Voice AI assistants<p>We would be happy to know what you do with it! You can take a look at what some people have built with it already <a href="https://github.com/snipsco/awesome-snips" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/snipsco/awesome-snips</a><p>We are open-sourcing it over time, starting with the NLU: <a href="https://medium.com/snips-ai/snips-nlu-is-an-open-source-private-by-design-alternative-to-dialogflow-amazon-lex-and-other-nlu-a95dbe16f4a1" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/snips-ai/snips-nlu-is-an-open-source-priv...</a>. Snips is available in English, French, German, and soon Japanese and Korean with more European languages coming this year.<p>You can start building your own private-by-design smart speaker on the platform in under 1h with this tutorial: <a href="https://medium.com/snips-ai/building-a-voice-controlled-home-sound-system-using-snips-and-sonos-2aaf16523ce9" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/snips-ai/building-a-voice-controlled-home...</a>
