00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.209
Introducing the Mark II, by Mycroft

00:00:03.021 --> 00:00:05.022
Mycroft will wake you up

00:00:05.107 --> 00:00:07.107
Hey Mycroft, play my morning jams

00:00:07.173 --> 00:00:09.173
Mark II: playing your morning jams

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:12.002
Narrator: or do simple tasks like tell you what time it is

00:00:13.404 --> 00:00:15.404
Hey Mycroft, what time is it?

00:00:15.512 --> 00:00:17.512
Mark II: Three Fifteen PM

00:00:17.925 --> 00:00:19.925
Narrator: and all the things you would expect from a voice assistant

00:00:20.271 --> 00:00:23.158
Narrator: things like weather 
Mark II: Its 78 degrees and Sunny

00:00:23.486 --> 00:00:26.428
Narrator: calendar 
Mark II: you have a Ten AM team meeting

00:00:26.655 --> 00:00:29.015
Narrator: and conversions 
Mark II: There are three teaspoons in a tablespoon

00:00:29.315 --> 00:00:33.228
Hey Computer, remind me to get my winter clothes out of storage.

00:00:33.468 --> 00:00:37.369
Narrator: other voice assistants can use your conversations to sell your data, and send you ads.

00:00:37.661 --> 00:00:39.661
Mycroft never sells your data, or sends you ads.

00:00:40.420 --> 00:00:43.761
the new screen is great for features like setting multiple timers.

00:00:44.615 --> 00:00:47.072
Hey Mycroft, can you set another timer for 10 minutes?

00:00:47.405 --> 00:00:49.405
Mark II: second timer started

00:00:49.563 --> 00:00:51.563
Nailed it

00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:56.377
Narrator: it can have a friendly face, or customized widgets

00:00:57.164 --> 00:01:00.310
Narrator: choose your wake up word

00:01:02.417 --> 00:01:04.418
Narrator: and your voice
Mark II: Hello, my name is Trinity

00:01:04.418 --> 00:01:06.418
Mark II: Hello my name is Mycroft

00:01:06.545 --> 00:01:09.123
Narrator: and it can be hooked up to start
multiple systems in your home

00:01:09.191 --> 00:01:11.191
with a single command

00:01:11.411 --> 00:01:13.411
Hey Mycroft, it's game time!

00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:15.600
Mark II: Game on!

00:01:17.871 --> 00:01:19.871
Hey, but it doesn't work with this?

00:01:20.204 --> 00:01:22.204
Narrator: He can help with that

00:01:22.314 --> 00:01:24.888
our open source community is expanding the capability of the Mark II

00:01:25.045 --> 00:01:27.397
supporting things like Roku and other devices

00:01:27.569 --> 00:01:31.763
Mycroft: Private, Custom, Open

00:01:33.826 --> 00:01:37.301
hello I’m Joshua Montgomery, the CEO of Mycroft AI

00:01:37.724 --> 00:01:41.042
in 2015, we launched the world’s first open source voice assistant

00:01:41.140 --> 00:01:43.680
right here on Kickstarter

00:01:43.894 --> 00:01:49.688
in July, we delivered the Mark I to backers in 56 countries and 38 states.

00:01:49.697 --> 00:01:53.450
the software that we built for the Mark I now runs anywhere

00:01:53.548 --> 00:01:57.030
you can download it and run it on the Linux Desktop or the Raspberry Pi

00:01:57.302 --> 00:02:01.141
this is the first step towards our larger goal

00:02:01.484 --> 00:02:05.350
an artificial intelligence that runs anywhere and interacts exactly like a person

00:02:05.692 --> 00:02:09.210
an AI that understands context,can communicate naturally

00:02:09.405 --> 00:02:11.752
and hold a complete conversation.

00:02:12.564 --> 00:02:15.968
With our second Kickstarter, we are looking to expand the community

00:02:15.974 --> 00:02:19.860
and work with them to build software that allows you to voice enable anything

00:02:20.395 --> 00:02:23.520
software that’s customizable and let’s you rename the assistant

00:02:23.783 --> 00:02:27.280
and change its personality and appearance to fit you.

00:02:27.620 --> 00:02:30.251
the Mark II uses an advanced microphone array

00:02:30.348 --> 00:02:33.335
so it can hear at long distances even when music is playing

00:02:33.425 --> 00:02:37.402
we’ve also added a screen so you can see things like calendar entries

00:02:37.403 --> 00:02:39.640
timers, even security camera feeds

00:02:39.981 --> 00:02:42.741
to bring the Mark II to life, we need your help.

00:02:43.235 --> 00:02:47.870
we need to invest in tooling, optimize our design for manufacturing

00:02:48.087 --> 00:02:50.681
and continue to improve the software.

00:02:50.925 --> 00:02:53.242
that’s why we are asking for your support.

00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.500
we need you to help us bring an open,

00:02:56.568 --> 00:02:59.407
transparent, privacy minded intelligent personal assistant to life.

00:03:00.875 --> 00:03:03.572
you can begin helping us now

00:03:03.675 --> 00:03:07.628
by going to voice.mycroft.ai and donating your voice

00:03:07.933 --> 00:03:10.669
installing Mycroft on your Raspberry Pi

00:03:10.750 --> 00:03:14.199
