- inputs: {"age_days": 3757, "days_push": 724, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: archived
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
Mycroft Core is the core software of the Mycroft open-source voice assistant platform, providing wake-word listening, speech recognition, natural language intent parsing, and a skill system for extensibility. The project is no longer actively maintained; its spiritual successors are Open Voice OS and Neon Core.

## Use cases
- build a private open-source voice assistant
- run a smart speaker on a raspberry pi
- create custom voice assistant skills in python
- self-host a voice assistant without cloud lock-in
- experiment with wake word and intent parsing pipelines
- study how an open voice assistant architecture works

## When to choose
- you want a hackable, fully open-source voice assistant platform to study or fork
- you are contributing to Open Voice OS or Neon Core and need the legacy codebase
- you run legacy Mycroft Mark II hardware

## When to avoid
- you want a maintained, working voice assistant today - use Open Voice OS or Neon Core instead
- you need modern LLM-based conversational AI
- you expect support on current operating systems - the README warns it likely no longer works
