What is Leon?
Leon operates as a personal virtual assistant designed to reside on your own server, ensuring user control over data and privacy. Built with an open-source philosophy under the MIT license, it encourages community contribution and broad adoption without restrictive limitations. This approach allows users to maintain full ownership of their information, deciding if and how third-party services are integrated.
Leveraging AI concepts like Natural Language Processing (NLP), Text-to-Speech (TTS), and Speech-to-Text (STT), Leon aims to simplify interactions and automate various aspects of your digital life. Its modular architecture provides flexibility, enabling users to create or utilize different skills (packages/modules) tailored to their specific needs. It supports integration with various cloud-based and offline TTS/STT services, allowing for voice command capabilities.
