About the project

Our Client wants your smart devices to get smarter. Today’s voice assistants are great, but they are being asked to do things they were not originally created to do. Go ahead, wake up one assistant to ask another to get you a car, a coffee, or play your favourite playlist.

It`s a leading US company that collaborates with headphone manufacturers and creates SDKs for wireless headphones. We believe through deep learning in data science and machine learning will get us to the next level of voice models.

We have signed some of the world's biggest brands and are creating voice assistants to integrate not only into the Client's platform but also their core consumer facing apps. We have built out voice assistants for NPR and Spotify and have rapidly discovered the limitations of tools like Amazon Lex and Dialog Flow.
