I'm building a VoiceAI (aka voice activated assistant) for the SnipsAIR decentralized app store. Let's disrupt the big tech companies' (Google / Amazon / Microsoft) stranglehold on robot assistants! ## What's the problem with big tech? My twitter bot worked like a champ, so much so, that the first time I manually posted (in over 7 months) the twitter account got shut down. I gave wit.ai a run, but seriously don't want to build on data selling FaceBook. I'm not impressed with Windows 10 being so entwined with Cortana that a power user can't disable it without losing Calculator functionality. And just like any good IT, I laughed my ass off when I saw the [Siri-Alexa-Google AIs on loop](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmINGWsyWX0). After over 2 decades of Windows, I'm on a quest to build myself the perfect AI assistant that's at home whether on a Pi, Droid, or Linux (sorry iOS users, Apple's not my thing). I want an AI that can do calculations for me, when asked. Or, that can be disabled without killing the native calculator. An assistant to work with me, not a big data spy listening for what ever back-door keywords the NSA has snuck in. ## Join me in developing awesome privacy-centered voice-activated minions, use one of the links below: My snipsAIR console ref link: https://console.snips.ai/?ref=yM6gdKP7E0E - use this link to start your account with the ico - or, to start working with your voiceAI My snipsAIR bounty ref link: https://bounty.snips.ai/6250/4937242 - for full information on the snipsAIR bounty see this [post](https://medium.com/snips-ai/the-snips-air-bounty-program-7b1ed1ec950c) From SnipsAIR's [blog](https://medium.com/snips-ai/snips-maker-release-2-0-34c6a84a2783) information about Snips app store and how to use the Snips ecosystem for sharing/rating voiceAI apps.
