From the sources

Today we're releasing Jovo for Web as part of Jovo v3.2 — a complete client SDK that lets you add voice and chat interfaces to any web app, mobile app, or custom hardware device. Until now, Jovo focused on Alexa and Google Assistant — platforms where Amazon and Google control the device client.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
