From what I've seen #Almond *does* look like the best engine for processing user intents and bringing back relevant information (with an impressive scope of integrations and assistant to assistant communication).
The main challenge with Almond is that it seems it currently has no voice input or output (ie speech recognition and synthesis).
It looks like #ProjectAda by #HomeAssistant is about to work on that though.

Interesting, but it seems primarily interested in home automation where I'm more interested in a privacy friendly, voice enabled virtual assistant.
I like what they're doing with Project Ada though, adding voice to Almond. Almond looks like more of what I'm after, but without voice recognition or speech synthesis, it's a lot less useful to me.
