musicdiscovery-assist

Google Home assistant for music recommendations, built with Python , Redis & Flask. Using Google Home and API.ai

In a nutshell this service consists of the following

  • a very light weight flask app (https://github.com/jesseward/musicdiscovery-assist)
  • An agent created at api.ai
  • All api.ai intents, with the exception of the 'help' intent are answered by the musicdiscovery-assist webhook (this flask app).
  • A self hosted Flask app. Its sole purpose is to massage communication between api.api and the last.fm API. Calls that result in a memcache miss, pass through to the last.fm API.
