The idea of artificial intelligence within your home might seem like a chapter out of a science fiction novel, but the Mycroft makes it much more realistic and approachable than you might think. Designed with an open source system to enable developers to continuously improve on thins, Mycroft works by simply listening for its name; it does not listen or record your conversations until it is acknowledged. From here, you can tell Mycroft to play some music, turn on the TV or record your favorite show.
Mycroft is designed with artificial intelligence to learn from your habits to provide the best experience possible. So, if you tell it to play your favorite music, Mycroft will know just the artist to stream.
