Mycroft

Mycroft develops an open source conversational AI and voice assistant platform that can be deployed across desktop computers, automobiles, Raspberry Pi, and other devices. The platform provides natural language processing capabilities for speech recognition applications, enabling developers to build voice-based conversational AI solutions with code-based platforms. Mycroft supports personal assistant applications and natural language understanding with extensibility through custom skills and integrations. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Lawrence, Kansas, the company has raised approximately $5M in Series A funding. Mycroft differentiates itself as an open source alternative to proprietary voice assistants, offering privacy-focused voice AI that can be self-hosted and deployed on-premise, giving developers full control over their voice assistant infrastructure without dependence on major cloud providers, with an active community contributing to voice AI open source projects.
