Digital Assistant for Linux (and Mac!), inspired by Cortana, Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant
Because I thought it was a cool idea, I was bored, and also it was HackIllinois.
Alice is written in Python, with the libraries Numpy, Scikit, Scikit-learn, and Google Speech Recognition (on Android).
It can:
- Shut down your computer
- Lock your computer
- Close whatever window you have currently active
- Change your volume.
- Control the music that's playing (Rhythmbox on Ubuntu, Spotify on Mac OSX)
- Open your web browser and URLs
- Monitor incoming Facebook Messenger messages
- Monitor CPU activity, memory usage, and temperatures
- Monitors outdated packages in Apt and Pip
- Checking the time
- Google service integration for Gmail (checking inbox) and Calendar (checking events)
- Being able to create Google Calendar events
- Checking the weather

The planned features are:
- Opening files
- Closing arbitrary windows that are open on your computer
- Run system commands that you tell it to
- Setting alarms
- Launching Google maps and getting directions on the fly
- Able to send emails
- Changing your screen brightness
- Really anything else that I feel like adding...
It's the name of a character in a light novel who's the first sentient AI.
I know :( If you want to make any improvements / fixes, make a pull request please!
Yeah, it's a known bug, but notify-osd cannot stack messages, and will display
them in a queue. Sorry, it's not my fault :(
To install dependencies, you'll want to pip install -r requirements.txt and
run setup.sh.
