“Found the trivia game after asking Google what game she liked so had fun playing that once we put it together with 9 year old son. Watch out though that you do not add the SD card in the Pi while you build it as that is how I snapped one!”

“If you are outside of the EU, the Google AIY Voice Kit is a great solution for playing around with voice recognition and artifical intelligence. But in EU you have to register as a Business user to gain access to the Google Cloud Platform. That's really taking the fun out of it.”

“The kit was easy to assemble. I tried to make it with Pi Zero but it didn't work out and I ended up using a Pi3 which I recommend to everyone as the application is a bit heavy on it. The software works excellent and the repository is updated once in a while for anyone who wants to have the most recent version. Totally recommend it for people who wish to experiment and build something with speech recognition.”

“Fun project, easy(ish) to assemble and get going. Now my Echo and AIY can fight it out over who is the best.”

“The kit was really easy to assemble. Took just under 10 minutes to assemble the hardware, and getting all the software set-up took around 40 minutes due to downloading. Can play around with using voice commands to do many things, including but not limited to: Controlling any smart-device you have for lights or heat. Check email and calendar, do updates and send messages. If you are outside EU you can do all that and more.”

“My kids (5, 7 and 10) all pitched in, they loved connecting parts and folding the box. A couple of the folds were demonstrated in pictures but the cardboard didn't have drawn lines confirming that they were the correct ones. The hardest part is configuring the cloud services and I was disappointed that it wasn't more clearly explained how to make the device boot directly into voice navigation however after a little bit of googling and I was able to set that up.”
