According to the feedback from yesterday's thread, Snips seems to be the only voice assistant project that works offline and isn't sending your data to someone else's computer.
Currently, Mycroft sends your data to their server for processing, and Gladys sends your data to Google (!) for processing.
@switchingsocial Adam Curry, the PodFather, has been playing with Mycroft and talks about it on his podcast, No Agenda.
