Build your own Jarvis

This is cute, and definitely a good educational resource about mature foss HCI applications, but this will not give the degree of quality that many have come to expect from assistants as simple as even Amazon's Alexa. Sirius is much closer to what you want.

Is this a self contained project that does not need internet connection to do speech recognition/synthesis?

After a casual read: yes, I believe so, in that it does not require 3rd party API's. You do still need to run it on a server that your client device can connect to. If your goal is an assistant that does not report back to Apple/Google/MSFT/Amazon, then Sirius looks like another good option.

Was interested in this but from my reading of the docs it looks like it just queries a local instance of Wikipedia? So I couldn't ask "What's the weather today" or "Do I have an appointment on Saturday" or "Who won last night's Redskins game?". Which means it's a neat toy but nothing I'd ever use.

Didn't know that Caffe can be used for speech recognition! Does it convert the audio to spectral images and do it that way?

I wonder how good the results are compared to to Google's stack - http://googleresearch.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/the-neural-netw... - check arxiv for more info. Haven't seen any open source implementations yet
