R👁bbie™ is Artificial Inteligence IoT framework for all purposes. Is written in Python and uses Alicebot AIML 2.0. R👁bbie™ needs no screens. Just type or say commands like to normal people in front of you. R👁bbie™ do command, tells you something or does another action depending on his installed modules for sensors and devices. Developers can write own modules and enhance R👁bbie™. Possibilities are endless. From home assistant (primary use), car assistants, airplanes assistants, interactive robots and true Smart Watches to clever space ships like in Star Trek in future :)

So. It's simple. Amazon Echo and Google Home are closed systems with own harware and software policies. R👁bbie™ is framework. You can build own UNIX like device with own sensors and parts (for example speaker and microphone) and use R👁bbie™'s code. You can sale this devices as your product if you want. You can create own modules for devices compatibility and share this modules, do edits in R👁bbie™'s code or create own forks and versions. All without policies and bureaucracy.

• Open Source
• Based on Alicebot AIML 2.0
• R👁bbie™ understands your sentences and reacts (Just tell him "Prepare some coffee for me", or "How many people live on Earth"...)
• Text to speech
• Runs on all UNIX devices include MacOS
• Primary used for Intel Edison, but can run on another devices - small or big ones
• Prepared for IoT manufacturers (just connect your sensors and devices using R👁bbie™'s methods)

First Web Admin Draft

Internal Web Server and Sound System Update

First Look

• Support for Answers.com, Wolfram Alpha, Wikipedia and other services
• Using of another bots in network (Your home instance of R👁bbie™ can ask for closing of doors in your company for example. There can be closing IoT device for door or just another R👁bbie™ based server managing this IoT device himself.)
• Voice recognization
• Support for sensors and devices using Intel Edison
• Support for sensors and devices using protocols
• Web Admin based on Python's Flask with configurable IP address (public IP can be set), login screen, graphs, console and online modules + wysiwig AIML editor. You can manage and program R👁bbie™ using web admin
• Libraries for main programming languages (One can communicate with R👁bbie™ using mobile phone microphone and text input for example. R👁bbie™ can show informations on display and use mobile phone speaker.)
• Python GUI for desktop platforms based on libraries with nice design
• User profiles with users swithching ("Hello, here is Thomas. Can you do some notes for me?", "Hi Thomas, what do you want to note?")
• Support for localization and for multiple voice rocognization and text to speech libraries

More info about features is in GitHub's issues list.

• Python 3
• pyyaml
• python-dateutil
• requests
• pydub
• wikipedia
• flask
• libav or ffmpeg

Setup script will be prepared later

• Install Python 3 first and then:

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip
$ pip3 install pyaml
$ pip3 install python-dateutil
$ pip3 install requests
$ pip3 install pydub
$ pip3 install wikipedia
$ pip3 install flask
$ apt-get install libav-tools libavcodec-extra-53
or
$ apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-extra-53

• Install Python 3 first and then:

$ pip3 install pyaml
$ pip3 install python-dateutil
$ pip3 install requests
$ pip3 install pydub
$ pip3 install wikipedia
$ pip3 install flask
$ xcode-select --install
$ brew install libav --with-libvorbis --with-sdl --with-theora
or
$ brew install ffmpeg --with-libvorbis --with-ffplay --with-theora

• CD to R👁bbie™ folder in terminal and then:

$ sh start.sh

You can set automatic lauching of this script on restart as well.

• Hit CTRL+C in terminal

Do not close R👁bbie™. He can not respond on you and can not learn when is closed. Let him live on old PC or own Intel Edison board for example.
