Tools for AI Design
This past weekend on CES 2017 we saw an explosion of AI integration devices from Fridges to toasters or even entire homes with hidden speakers. Google home and Alexa are on the top of the competition at this point with their new AI assistants speakers and we can see these integrations getting bigger and bigger every day. As a User Experience designer, I can't deny the excitement to create new experiences using AI and I decided to make a list of resources to start with VUI.
Google Assistant
Google assistant API gives you enough information to start with your own little project. Here you can get conversation basics, How to craft a conversation and more. If you own a google home is a lot of fun

Alexa skills kit and voice design
Amazon Alexa has a well-detailed section about how to start designing for Alexa the do and don't and the best voice practices for design.
Siri kit
Siri was one the first AI we all saw from apple almost 5 years ago. I think Siri continues learning and growing in the community and now with open API developers and designers can create better experiences

API.AI
This is a great platform to start developing and designing new AI conversations. Is very simple and you can create new conversations in minutes and start playing.
