Obviously, philpw99 is a team player, and me and Mannequinfan are long time team mates.
Google Access: For a personal assistant, this is a good thing. For doll chat, bad. Here's why:
Case in point: the Harmony app.
As a chatbot, Harmony is extremely limited. Anything not in her database (99% of everything) gets Googled. The impending answer is usually 10-25 LINES long, giving you a very lengthy definition/explanation/encyclopedia answer to a simple question. Your girlfriend doesn't sound like that, and neither should your doll. I (and many others) complained about that, and it has been said that the next version will have the capability to turn that off. Googling everything also severely drains the battery, as does having to access the cloud for each response, making Harmony an absolute battery HOG. Needing the cloud just to function (you have to sign into their server just to run the app) is a severe drawback and privacy liability. I guarantee you Abyss could bring up everything you said to Harmony, and so could a determined hacker. Damn that. Kari may be dumber, but she's free of all that, and her answers don't sound like Hal9000. So, if you add Google access, I suggest you include the ability to turn it off when not in "personal assistant" mode. I realize the conversation choices are currently quite limited in Doll33, but that is where I can really help you, because I am a chatbot programming BEAST. You can see evidence of that by having my PF chatbot Kwench chat with other chatbots, and almost always destroys them, even when they have a much higher rating. All I need is a good set of chatbot tools and decent VR.

The reason I don't put it in a git, is that I don't want everyone from Internet have the code, but for a special few ones like you, I don't really mind, and my coding skill is kinda bad, so the code might be hard to read.
That is mighty nice of you. Not sure I can do much with that, but willing to try. At least you have coding skills. While I program high-tech machines at work, I do it in ladder logic, unrelated to Android App-building. While I can build computers, and make them run windows or Linux, the only Android experience I got is my phone, tablet, and Kodi box. But, I have programmed a shitload of chatbots, and know exactly what features they need to seem intelligent. Deep learning? Hell no, but you need extreme processing power for that, something a doll won't have for a long time.
