Hello 👋,

My passion for open source began several years ago ❤️

I believe that open source is crucial for the growth and sustainability of the software industry.

That's why I introduced Leon: an open-source personal assistant back in early 2019. While I could have kept it as a private assistant and commercialized it, I made a conscious decision to create a modular architecture that would allow anyone to develop new skills for their personal use and share them with the community.

With such a project, the possibilities are endless, and I'm constantly working to expand Leon's capabilities. By sponsoring this project, you can help make it sustainable and accelerate the development of new features.

There are many exciting things in the pipeline, and I encourage you to check out the roadmap and stay up to date with the latest news on the blog or Twitter.

Please note that I dedicate most of my free time to Leon. This involves not only the activity you see on GitHub but also a great deal of thought about the project's direction, design, architecture, vision, and learning process. 🙏

Key Points

Here are some key points to keep in mind about Leon:

• Open source: Leon is under the MIT license which is the most permissive license in the open-source world. I want Leon to be able to grow as much as possible, so I truly believe opening Leon with the least of restriction can help with that.
• Privacy matters: you are in control of your data. If you wish, Leon can work offline without any third party. Additional offline integrations are in development.
• Automate your virtual life: Leon can help you automate tasks and remove the hassle from your virtual life. Leon can be thought of as your virtual brain, and with your help (both technical and financial), we can make powerful automation possible.
• Imagination is the only limit: Leon has a modular architecture that allows for the creation of skills that fit your specific needs. It is incredibly flexible, so let your creativity run wild!
• Powered by AI: Leon makes use of artificial intelligence concepts, such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Text-to-Speech (TTS), Speech-to-Text (STT), and more in the future!
