What is Zina?
Zina is an open-source virtual assistant software designed to provide a natural language interface for completing tasks and accessing information on a computer or mobile device.

Some of the key features of Zina include:
- Natural language processing to understand commands and queries in plain English

- Plugin architecture and API to connect with third-party services like Spotify, Google Calendar, etc.
- Conversational interface with ability to handle context and have back-and-forth dialogs
- Open-source codebase allowing customization and community contributions

Zina is well-suited for controlling smart home devices, getting information while multitasking, setting reminders and alarms, playing music/podcasts, integrating with IoT ecosystems, and automating repetitive tasks on a computer through voice. Its open-source nature makes it customizable for individual needs.
