Ian Bicking Talks Firefox Voice and Observations About Assistants Today - Voicebot Podcast Ep 166

Ian Bicking spent 10 years at Mozilla as a software developer,
engineering manager, and research engineer. His last project
there was Firefox Voice, a custom voice assistant for the Firefox
Browser. That experience led him to record his observations on
the state of voice technology and conversational AI from a
developer's perspective which he recorded in a 3,300-word blog
post. Today, we discuss Bicking's 12-month journey building a
custom voice assistant and what he learned. 


Before Mozilla, Bicking spent several years as a senior
programmer at the Open Planning Project. He earned degrees in
computer science and mathematics at Earlham College.
