would it make sense to implement alexa API in dicio

[pabloski80]

As Alexa is nearing a death od a product, and there is quite some code on github circulating around its api, as per the title.

Do you mean making Dicio a wrapper around the Alexa API and provide the same functionality as Alexa?

I'm not sure it's a good idea, Alexa is not really very respectful of the personal data of its users...
What's the point of reproducing an identical Alexa?
But otherwise in the same spirit there is https://aimybox.com/ it's an sdk for smart assistant, open-source and surely more respectful of personal data, because otherwise it's a good idea, it allows to integrate faster features, just don't use Alexa 🙏

[Stypox]

Yes I definitely don't want to have anything to do with Alexa

On the other hand it is true when deepening amybox it seemed to me really a good idea to save time and functions much more quickly it is an SDK already rather ready and therefore easier to use, after it is up to you decide if it's a good idea or not

[Stypox]

Mmmh, aimybox seems to just be an SDK that glues together some components (but for example doesn't even support Vosk). The intent recognition is not run on-device, but rather either relies on their server, or by some external service. So it wouldn't be that compatible with Dicio.

I didn't realize it but it's true
I will try to search on github if there is no script for the recognition of the intention in the text
