Developing Interoperable Conversational Assistants with the Open Voice Interoperability Initiative Specifications and Sandbox

Grace Hopper Celebration Open Source Day Hackathon, October 4, 2024, virtual, presented by Leah Barnes, Emmett Coin, and Deborah Dahl

This session described the Open Voice messaging protocol and introduced the Interoperability Sandbox implementation of the protocol. Attendees learned about the sandbox github repository (at https://github.com/open-voice-interoperability/open-voice-sandbox), and had a chance to develop their own standards-based chatbots using the sandbox.

Let’s Talk about Open Voice Interoperability

LF AI & Data Technical Advisory Council Talk, September 17, virtual, presented by Deborah Dahl

https://lfaidata.foundation/blog/2024/10/08/tac-talks-insights-a-deep-dive-into-the-open-voice-interoperability-initiative/

The session delved into the technical framework underpinning the interoperability initiative, outlining three primary types of messages that facilitate inter-assistant communication:

    1. Assistant Manifest
    2. Conversation Envelope
    3. Dialogue Events

Generative Conversational AI Interoperability

Open Source Summit Europe, Vienna, presented by Diego Gosmar

https://youtu.be/ZkxnEjUFY-k?si=9Y5NRX19XJXZJiFZ

This talk explores Conversational AI that works like the Web. In this talk, we explain the pivotal role of OVON Specs in the Open Voice Network’s Interoperability Initiative. We highlight how OVON Specs are crucial in crafting a universal, open-source AI voice interface for seamless cross-platform assistant integration.

Toward teams of AIs: Conversational assistants that converse with each other

AI for Developers Meeting: LF Edge and LF AI & Data (Hybrid), September 11 – September 13, 2024, presented by Deborah Dahl

This talk described emerging standards being developed by the Open Voice Interoperability Project of the LFAI and Data Foundation that will enable conversational assistants to interact with each other and transfer conversations to address use cases like these, based on a standard set of inter-assistant messages.
