Almond is a virtual assistant that lets you interact with your services and accounts in natural language, with flexibility and privacy. Almond draws its power from the crowdsourced Thingpedia, an open collection of Web and Internet of Things APIs. Anyone can contribute support for the favorite service, with few lines of code and a handful of natural language sentences.
This is the first release to use the new Genie Toolkit as the core dialogue system, replacing both the Almond dialogue agent and the ThingEngine. Genie supports multi-turn interactions.
The app was relicensed to Apache 2.0.
Improved support for running in desktop environments other than GNOME.
