Cisco<\/a> announced today that it was open-sourcing the MindMeld conversation AI platform<\/a>, making it available to anyone who wants to use it under the Apache 2.0 license.<\/p>\n

MindMeld <\/a> is the conversational AI company that Cisco bought in 2017<\/a>. The company put the technology to use in Cisco Spark Assistant<\/a> later that year to help bring voice commands to meeting hardware, which was just beginning to emerge at the time.<\/p>\n

Today, there is a concerted effort to bring voice to enterprise use cases, and Cisco <\/a> is offering the means for developers to do that with the MindMeld tool set. \u201cToday, Cisco is taking a big step towards empowering developers with more comprehensive and practical tools for building conversational applications by open-sourcing the MindMeld Conversational AI Platform<\/a>,\u201d Cisco\u2019s head of machine learning Karthik Raghunathan wrote in a blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company also wants to make it easier for developers to get going with the platform, so it is releasing the Conversational AI Playbook<\/a>, a step-by-step guide book to help developers get started with conversation-driven applications. Cisco says this is about empowering developers, and that\u2019s probably a big part of the reason.<\/p>\n

But it would also be in Cisco\u2019s best interest to have developers outside of Cisco working with and on this set of tools. By open-sourcing them, the hope is that a community of developers, whether Cisco customers or others, will begin using, testing and improving the tools; helping it to develop the platform faster and more broadly than it could, even inside an organization as large as Cisco.<\/p>\n

Of course, just because they offer it doesn\u2019t necessarily automatically mean the community of interested developers will emerge, but given the growing popularity of voice-enabled used cases, chances are some will give it a look. It will be up to Cisco to keep them engaged.<\/p>\n

Cisco is making all of this available on its own DevNet platform<\/a> starting today.<\/p>\n
