How to start using

1. Create a new Android project with next dependencies in the build.gradle file

    android {
        compileOptions {
            sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
            targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        }
    }

    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        implementation("com.just-ai.aimybox:core:$aimyboxVersion")
    }

Use the latest version

2. Add one or more dependencies of third party speech-to-text and text-to-speech libraries. For example

implementation("com.just-ai.aimybox:google-platform-speechkit:$aimyboxVersion")

3. Create a new project in Aimybox console, enable some voice skills and copy your project's API key.

4. Instantiate Aimybox in your Application class like that

val unitId = UUID.randomUUID().toString()
val textToSpeech = GooglePlatformTextToSpeech(context)
val speechToText = GooglePlatformSpeechToText(context)
val dialogApi = AimyboxDialogApi("your Aimybox project API key", unitId)
val aimybox = Aimybox(Config.create(speechToText, textToSpeech, dialogApi))

Now you can start talking with your voice assistant using startRecognition() method of Aimybox.
