“I have worked with Josh since his days at Wicked Broadband. I actually met him when he was laying fiber for one of his clients. Josh's work ethic is second to none and his insights into start ups are amazing. He is helping me launch my company and has been there through thick and thin. I always look forward to our calls and highly recommend him. ”

I Tried Hiding From Silicon Valley in a Pile of Privacy Gadgets
Bloomberg Businessweek
See publicationEvery spy needs a sidekick, which is a totally incorrect statement that again proves how unsuited I am for spying. Nevertheless, I employed an aide-de-camp named Mycroft. He’s an adorable, voice-controlled digital assistant built into a screen that showcases his big, blue circle eyes.

Mycroft: The AI Voice Assistant With NO Ulterior Motives
Can City Podcast
See publicationSmart speakers are dominating the landscape of consumer technology...even recently surpassing VR and wearables. While names like Alexa, Echo, and HomePod may be the first to come to mind, Mycroft is about to stir things up. What's the difference and why should you even care? It comes down to one term: "open source"

While names like Alexa, Echo, and HomePod may be the first to come to mind, Mycroft is about to stir things up. What's the difference and why should you even care?

Joshua Montgomery founded Mycroft AI in early 2015 and since that time has done two successful Kickstarter campaigns, graduated from both Tech Stars and 500 Startups accelerators, raised $3 million in equity capital and delivered the world’s first open source voice assistant. He, the Mycroft team and a growing group of volunteer developers have been busy contributing to both the open source software project and delivering smart speaker and smart display devices that focus on user security along with functionality. Montgomery points to Android as an example of where open source technology increasingly outperforms closed systems. In the voice assistant space, he sees Amazon, Google, and others all following the closed system iOS-like approach of the mobile ecosystem with Mycroft as the leading open source alternative. Mycroft may be looking up at the giants of technology today, but is clearly a company to watch which could disrupt the entire sector if the scalability and customization options take off with developers.
