Essentials - AIY Voice Projects

Google AIY Projects brings do-it-yourself artificial intelligence (AI) to the maker community.

You will build a cardboard device (kit sold separately) that uses the Google Assistant to answer questions, like “how far away is the moon?” or “what is 18 percent of 92?”.

Inside the guide you will find chapters on the following:

  • Made by you with Google: the team behind the AIY Projects kit
  • Your AIY Projects Voice Kit
  • Assemble the kit
  • Set up the the voice assistant software
  • Build a voice recognizer
  • Create a voice recognizer
  • Control an LED
  • Attach a servo
  • Control a DC motor
