Abstract:
In today’s era, our day to day life has become more easier and smarter with the
help of technology. We priorly know few voice assistance like google, Siri, etc.
Now in our voice assistant system, it functions as a medical prescriber, schedule
reminder, note maker, calculator and a search tool. This project idea works on
voice input and gives desired output through voice and presents the text on the
screen. The main plan of our project is to make people smart and give instant and
computed result with less effort. The voice assistant takes the voice input from
the user through the microphone (Bluetooth and wired microphone) and it
converts the voice into computer understandable language and also gives the
desired solution as well as answers which are asked by the user. This project
connects the user with the world wide web to present the result that the user has
asked for. Natural Language Processing is the algorithm that helps computer
machines to get involved in communication using natural human language in
many forms.

Analysis of features

Virtual assistants are passive listening devices that respond once they recognize
a command. Passive listening means the device always hears what's happening
around it. The virtual assistant must be connected to the internet so it can conduct
web searches and find answers or communicate with other. Our project performs
various tasks as mentioned below:

• To create an interactive • Virtual assistants can do

Conclusion and futurework

The presence of this voice assistant has automated various services using a single
line command. It has made it easy for the user to perform many tasks like web
searching, weather forecast details, learning vocabulary. We focus on to make
our project a complete server assistant and also make it smarter enough to
function as a substitute for a general server administration. The future plan
includes integrating Athena with mobile using React Native to provide a
synchronised experience between the two connected devices. Further, for the
future run, Athena is planned to feature auto deployment supporting elastic
beanstalk, backup files, and all operations which a general Server Administrator
does. The functionality would be seamless enough to replace the Server
Administrator with Athena.
