“Hey Neon, Talk to ChatGPT” - Mark II Voice Assistant - Update May 2023

New Neon AI Voice Assistant Update For Your Mycroft Mark II Includes Pre-Release ChatGPT Skills!

Neon AI has released the latest Neon AI Voice Assistant for the Mycroft Mark II (and other platforms) which enables Neon AI users to converse with ChatGPT, simply by saying “Hey Neon, I want to talk to ChatGPT”.

To get started, tell your Mycroft Mark II device:

1. “Hey Neon, enable pre-release updates”
2. “Hey Neon, check for updates” and “Yes” to update
3. “Hey Neon, update configuration”
4. Once it’s finished updating, you’ll be able to say “Hey Neon, talk to ChatGPT”

Neon AI is the most advanced Open Source conversational personal assistant.

The Neon AI private voice assistant now responds to hundreds of natural language commands (see below).
