First of all I've been reading Ycombinator for a while (especially show HN), but have never really posted anything. The ideas that people post on show HN always intrigue me.

So I thought I'd share something that I have been working on for the past weeks.

My idea was to write a webapp for my smart mirror, so I have built an (speech-based) interactive web-based bot (which currently only works on Chrome ;( ).

The current (alpha) version consists of following features:

Speech recognition: which allows you to interact with the bot by using voice commands. Text-to-speech: so that the bot can give feedback. Face detection: with this the bot knows you're in front of it (a camera is ofcourse a must).

Github repository link: https://github.com/Kamuffel/ApexBot

A working demo can be found at: https://kamuffel.github.io/ApexBot/

Try for example the commands:

- tell me a quote; - sleep; - wake up; - be quiet; - you may speak.

I would like to hear some feedback, tips or some cool ideas that may can be added.

Thanks! Kamuffel
