Jovo Framework (v3)

Jovo Framework (version 3.x, like 3.6.2 specified) is an open-source development framework designed for building cross-platform voice and chat applications. It allows developers to create a single codebase for experiences across various platforms such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Samsung Bixby, Facebook Messenger, and custom web/mobile apps, as well as hardware like Raspberry Pi. Key differentiators of Jovo v3 included its 'Voice Layer' abstraction, a comprehensive ecosystem with Jovo CLI for project management, a Marketplace for integrations (ASR, NLU, databases, analytics), and tools for efficient local development like Jovo Webhook and Debugger. The framework aimed to provide a unified language model that could be converted into platform-specific interaction models. While the provided version (3.6.2) was stable in its time, the entire Jovo project, including the framework, was archived on April 24, 2025, and is no longer actively maintained. All Jovo packages remain on npm in their current versions, but no further official updates or security patches will be released.
