Community Feedback Request: Ideas for new skills

[patrickjquinn]

Hey folks,

So I want your feedback on what new skills, and skill types you want to see in the default P-Brain skills. Some ideas include, IoT protocol based skills, Gmail, Calendar, Slack, IFFT and Social Media.

If you have any notions, ideas or concepts on how what subsystem work needs to be added in order to build more engaging skills, let me know.

I've got a few ideas :)

• Reminder Skill. Hooks in with the timer skill so pretty useless on it's own. Query: "Remind me to mow the lawn", response: "Mow the lawn".
• Alarm skill. Multi-purpose like with timer except it accepts concrete times, such as "Set an alarm for 7am.". It could also execute commands such as "At 7am tell me what the weather is". It should also push the end time's for the alarms so on client side (if it's a phone) it can set a system alarm.
• Run on device skill. Example: "Run play David Bowie on my phone". This might get quite complicated with parsing. I could see it checking a list of registered devices to see if any are present in the query and then removing that. Otherwise a command like "Run play What's On Your Mind on my phone." could just fail terribly.

Well inspired by this video in my fork im working at injecting a personality 'skill' & face into my AI . I currently working on the "easier" presentation layer on animating the character (using js & css) on the responses and a simple emote system.

Hello!
I created a very basic skill to quote random lines from movies, or famous people. I couldn't commit my local branch due to permissions, though :)
Also, I believe it would be cool if Brain could enable bluetooth and sync with another bluetooth device (a speaker, for instance) on demand.

Maybe modify the time skill to do world time, like "What time is it in Tokyo?"
