Open Voice Interoperability Initiative | 1,858 followers on LinkedIn. Conversational AI worthy of trust | The Open Voice Interoperability Initiative of the Linux Foundation AI & Data Foundation is a project that seeks to enable conversational assistants based on any technology to interoperate with other conversational assistants, through the use of standard communication protocols. In that way, autonomous assistants can collaborate to help users achieve goals that are outside of the capabilities of any single assistant. The standard messages specified by the Open Voice Interoperability Initiative are used to make it possible for assistants to find other assistants with specific skills, delegate users’ requests to a new assistant, and enable users to continually move on to other assistants as needed.
