InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
I tried Amazon's Alexa, the top end model with a display. Often it would taunt you about new/interesting things on the screen, but I could never get them to work. I'd had to memorize things to get even the basics working. Ended up unplugging it.
However Google's Assistant in comparison worked great, no memorization, and very useful. Sure time, weather, set timers, and alarms worked great with a very flexible set of natural language queries. Even more complex things like what will be the temperature tomorrow at 10pm, simple calculations and unit conversions. But also things like IMDB like queries about directors, actors, which movies someone was in, etc generally worked well. It seemed to really understand things, not just "A web search returned ...". Even more complex things like the wheelbase of a 2004 WRX would return an answer, not a search result.
With all that said I'm looking for a non-cloud/on site solution, even if it requires more work, most recently noticed https://github.com/rhasspy/rhasspy
