[dba-Tech] Build your own Siri

[Jim Lawrence]

Hi All:

If anyone ever wanted to build their own Siri like product called Sirius, here is a maker group from the University of Michigan who have built all the components and have open sourced them. Now you can assembled a product that can be targeted towards what ever endeavour you wish. Like an encyclopedia research tool or a data centre data search application. The coding can be very complex but this method may be the new age front-end to data interrogation.
