Open Assistant

Open Assistant is an evolving open source artificial intelligence agent able to interact in basic conversation and automate an increasing number of tasks.

Maintained by the Open Assistant working group lead by Andrew Vavrek, this software is an extension of Blather by Jezra, Kaylee by Clayton G. Hobbs, and includes work done by Jonathan Kulp.
