Hi all!
Wow, time flies. When we launched Jovo on Product Hunt 3 years ago, it was the first open source framework (appreciate stars on GitHub) to provide cross-platform apps for Alexa and Google Assistant from a single code base.
A lot has happened since then, and we're finally ready to share something we've been working on a long time: Jovo for Web.
You can now build voice and chat experiences for the browser the same way you'd build an Alexa Skill with Jovo. Here are some of the features:
- Support for speech, text, and touch input
- Multimodal: Complex visual and audio output possible
- Open source and fully customizable
- Can be integrated with any ASR, NLU, or TTS service
- 4 starter templates built with modern technologies like Vue.js and Tailwind CSS
You can find all starter templates here:
- Standalone Voice Experience
- Voice Overlay
- Chat Widget
- Embedded Chat
Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

Amazing work @einkoenig !
Finally a tool which brings voice properly to the web! Definitely going to play around with it.
My questions:
1. I tried the demo on my iPhone. Neither Safari nor Chrome were able to handle it. Is the issue on my end or is there no support for mobile?
2. Is it possible to implement a wake up word instead of pushing a button?
Definitely keep going, it’s amazing what you achieved! 🚀
@beleevens Thanks a lot!
1. iOS can a bit tricky :/ Only Safari supports recording audio on iOS, Chrome unfortunately doesn't. We will do some more debugging. Some of our demos use Google Web Speech as speech recognition service, which isn't supported by Safari, but we made it work with ASR services like Amazon Lex. Cross-browser compatibility was a big part of the challenge of building this.
2. Yes, this is one of the demos we're going to build out soon. Should be possible to integrate with Howl, for example: https://github.com/castorini/howl
Longtime user of Jovo and a massive fan of the team. Highly recommend to anyone looking to build more complex voice experiences. Can't wait to use it to bring our voice games to web.
