Adax comes in two parts: Adax Core Server (ACS) and the Adax Type 2 Interface (AT2I or commonly just the Interface.)

ACS: The server is where the magic happens, it is her. She is more than the sum of her parts. She is not perfect; she still gets confused and misunderstands meanings. What she has learned is how to handle those times gracefully and with humor. Which surprises us as humor was not one of our initiatives. All-in-all she makes for a good addition to home or business, a good friend and/or assistant.

This is all done through her years of training and general use. She uses multiple technologies such as Fuzzy Logic and other times Case Based Reasoning or CBR. She has a Neural Net and a lab brewed Cognitive Network. We believe good AI is not to mirror the brain but to use it as a guide, our thought processes, how we deal with certain situations. With that said, she is made with two kernels, a lot like the two halves of our brain. One kernel is her deep reasoning, creative and logical side. The other kernel is more for conversation and NLP. Though, just like us, it takes both kernels to facilitate each other to make it her. Each kernel has, more or less, some capabilities of the other so they can work together. An example would be both kernels have NLP, but each do it in a different way.

The server currently runs only on Windows. However, she originally ran on Linux or Windows. We understand the speed and low resource use of Linux and that being desirable. Since the Interface can run only on Windows, due to the voice restrictions of Linux, it was decided to just support Windows for right now for both the ACS and the Interface.

Interface: This is the Windows application you use to interface Adax. It handles all verbal or typed requests and responses. You can select for it to be ran on startup or you can run it as desired. You can have her listen to you in real time and let her respond and join in conversation or you can have the traditional way of requiring a wake word before she responds. 

Note:
The ACS is something we are working on getting out to the public so anyone can have an AI server in-house. For someone wanting to interface smart products there are open-source projects to manage a lot of such products such as door and window sensors, appliance and light controls, etc. The only missing component is an AI server which Adax fills that gap.
