What an awesome project! And AGPL is really perfect for this kind of work.

What's the BOM look like? I'd love to understand more about the design. The software's open source, right? After a brief skim I didn't see a repo link. Does anyone know where the source is? Do they use an AI accelerator DSP/TPU or just plain-old-software-on-a-CPU?

Hey there - the source for Mimic 3 can be found here: https://github.com/mycroftAI/mimic3 It can run CPU only or accelerated with a GPU.

Regarding the BOM, I assume you mean the Mark II? That you can find here: https://github.com/MycroftAI/hardware-mycroft-mark-II/tree/m... We actually ended up designing our own RPi daughterboard called the SJ201. It's mostly an audio front end with an XMOS XVF-3510 and dual mics, but also includes a 23W amp, some LEDs for feedback, buttons, a hardware mic switch, GPIO breakout and power management (amongst other things).
