Toothless demo uses Jev to tell whether you're talking to the AI or someone else
The author built Toothless, a demo where Jev decides in real time whether what you say is aimed at the AI or at a person nearby, using multi-factor classification instead of a wake word.
I think I’ve found a pretty interesting use case for Jev (@typesafeai). An always-on AI that knows when you’re talking to it and when you’re speaking to someone else A thing that frustrates me about Siri/Alexa and even ChatGPT live is that there are moments that make experience feel unnatural. With Siri/Alexa you keep saying a wake word to get their attention and then talk With ChatGPT voice- it’s a 1:1 conversation. If someone sitting next to you says something and you reply to them, ChatGPT doesn’t understand you were talking to them. But what if your agent could figure that out? So here's a small demo called Toothless - where Jev figures out in real time whether something you’re saying is directed at the AI or someone else. It does this by considering multiple aspects simultaneously - like whether this is a continuation of a topic that was discussed before, whether it’s something that uses the internet or something can be helped by AI agent and a couple of other things. I think with a low cost classifier we are much closer to being able to have an always on ambient AI, which can jump and help us naturally, without requiring us to press buttons or keep calling out a command. Exciting times ahead!
