As mentioned in the other post, we’re starting a new initiative to turn Almond from an academic prototype to a real, usable product. (Don’t worry, we’ll stay open-source!). As part of this transition, we’ll be rebranding away from Almond in the next few months.
The name for a virtual assistant is very important: it’s the word you’ll say every time you talk to it!
So we would like you, our community, to help us choose a new name.
We have a few options we’re considering ourselves, but we’re also looking for suggestions and alternatives. We’re also interested in feedback from international users, on how they’d feel using each name as wake word. We’re looking for a single name that works across all languages.
The options we are considering are Mario, Coco, Genie, and Nico.
Any more suggestions? Comments? Feedback?
