I'm writing an article about it, hopefully I'll post it by next month. What got me started was that when I left my job, I had a hard time explaining how the AI part of the product works. We automated customer service for large e-commerces. I wrote a simple yet buggy neural network in JavaScript and it got me excited. I immediately jumped to building a smart device where I can say "Hey Jaziel" (merged name of my kids) and it can perform a command. My JavaScript model failed.

So I turned to coursera, took the deep learning specialization course by Andrew Ng. In a month, I had a working prototype. Sorry I haven't published it yet, but it will also be posted here. Hopefully it makes it to the front page.
