This new edition of Building a Virtual Assistant for Raspberry Pi will provide new features to your virtual assistant, Melissa, adding advanced capabilities to her. Updated to the latest Python release (Python 3), the book will follow the same structure as its previous edition with new features discussed as you move forward.
After walking you through the various STTs, TTSs and implementation of these components with the Python 3, you will build applications/modules for Melissa. The book will feature Plugin Architecture Implementation for Melissa, which allows the user to script their own interactions with Melissa without digging too deep into code. You will also enable Melissa to interact with connected lights such as LIFX and Philips Hue. In addition to the Melissa s voice controlled interface for X and Imgur, this edition will also enable Melissa to find your iPhone.
Adding to Melissa s web interface from the first edition, you will learn topackage her for PyPI and also enable her to interact with other virtual assistants. You will also learn to write tests for Melissa and use continuous integration with the help of Travis CI. In conclusion, you will take a look at the various enclosures for Melissa: from ready-made cases for Raspberry Pi to custom 3D-printed models.
For this New Edition
The new edition will cover new technologies released over the last six years, like LangChain and LLMs. This book will be updated to the latest Python version and will feature a more advanced architecture for the virtual assistant with a new UI interface. The virtual assistant will support the latest versions of Raspberry Pi. We will also cover new use cases like home automation and inspire the readers to keep building and using the virtual assistant even after finishing the book.
What You'll Learn
Plugin Architecture Implementations for quicker scriptsDevelop modules for having conversationswith the assistantPackage Melissa for PyPI and make her interact with other virtual assistants.IOT interaction with connected lights such as LIFX and Philips HueContinuous Integration with Travis CI
Who This Book Is For
Anyone who has built a home automation project with Raspberry Pi and now want to enhance it by making it voice-controlled. The book would also interest students from computer science or related disciplines.
