Question: (Tutorial) How to build a voice assistant with open source Rasa and Mozilla tools

Hello,

I have a question regarding this tutorial (How to build a voice assistant with open source Rasa and Mozilla tools).

  1. Are we just building a chatbot and giving it TTS and STT or does this tutorial really show how to build a voice assistant ?
  2. Is there actual a difference between voice assistants and Chatbots? I searched the Internet and some say no and some say yes…

Thanks in advance!

Hi @KresT!

Can you please elaborate on what you mean by “how to build a voice assistant?” in particular, what is your expectation from such a tutorial?

For the second question, (not trying to be an expert here) I think chatbots may or may not have “speech” capability but a chatbot (preferably AI based) with “speech” is a voice assistant. So chatbot is kinda the superset (?) of voice assistants.
