Created by Joshua Montgomery and Ryan Sipes, Mycroft is a voice-based digital assistant for Linux computers, Android smartphones, and other devices running similar operating systems. Mycroft can control Bluetooth smart-devices, play media from streaming services, answer questions, and complete in-app actions, like setting alarms or timers.

Mycroft is completely open source and free to download. Along with the voice assistant, physical smart-speakers that run the software are also available for purchase.
