This project demonstrates how to get a natural language recognizer up and running and connect it to the Google Assistant, using your AIY Projects voice kit. Along with everything the Google Assistant already does, you can add your own question and answer pairs. All in a handy little cardboard cube, powered by a Raspberry Pi.

User Guide

ThisAssembly Guide shows you how to assemble the AIY Projects voice kit. The kit is composed of simple cardboard form, a Raspberry Pi board, Voice HAT (an accessory board for voice recognition) and a few common components.

By the end of this guide, your voice project will be assembled with the Raspberry Pi board and other components connected and running. Then you'll move on the User’s Guide to bring it to life!

This is a hackable project, so we encourage you to make this project your own! We’ve included a whole section on replacing the Google Assistant SDK with the Cloud Speech API to give you even more options. The Maker’s Guide gives you some creative extensions, settings, and even a different voice API to use.

We hope this project has sparked some new ideas for you. For more information, please click Aiyprojects.
