  • Systems and methods for a neighborhood voice assistant
    Patent number: 10943603
    Abstract: A provider computing system includes a service recommendation database configured to retrievably store recommendation information, a network interface configured to communicate data over a network, and a processing circuit that includes a processor and memory. The memory is structured to store instructions that are executable by the processor and cause the processing circuit to receive a first set of recommendation information derived from a first set of voice data received by a local voice assistant and store the first set of recommendation information in the services recommendation database. The processing circuit is further caused to receive a request to generate a recommendation from a user voice assistant, derived from a second set of voice data received by the user voice assistant. The processing circuit is also caused to access the first set of recommendation information in response to the request and transmit the recommendation to the user voice assistant.
