This document provides an introduction to building a personal voice assistant using the AIY Edition kit. It outlines the steps to assemble the hardware components, install the operating system, enable various Google APIs like the Google Assistant API and Cloud Speech-to-Text API, and modify code samples to interact with these APIs using voice. The document also briefly discusses different types of artificial intelligence and mentions some other tools like Dialogflow, Pandorabots, Scratch and Actions on Google for building conversational agents.
