This article makes me really curious about how Mycroft.ai will fare. Its makers have a different aim than the other voice assistance (privacy friendly voice assistant). I ordered one when they started their crowd campaign years ago and they're finally shipping. Between then and now my interest in voice command has plunged dramatically (I don't know why), and I wonder if their other potential users feel the same way. The fact that they aren't mentioned yet in this thread is depressingly telling.
