+    A voice assistant that runs on your device, based on the `Picovoice
+    <https://picovoice.ai/>`_ engine.
+
+    .. note:: You will need a PicoVoice account and a personal access key to
+        use this integration.
+
+    You can get your personal access key by signing up at the `Picovoice
+    console <https://console.picovoice.ai/>`_. You may be asked to submit a
+    reason for using the service (feel free to mention a personal Platypush
+    integration), and you will receive your personal access key.
+
+    You may also be asked to select which products you want to use. The default
+    configuration of this plugin requires the following:
+
+        * **Porcupine**: wake-word engine, if you want the device to listen for
+          a specific wake word in order to start the assistant.
+
+        * **Cheetah**: speech-to-text engine, if you want your voice
+          interactions to be transcribed into free text - either programmatically
+          or when triggered by the wake word. Or:
+
+        * **Rhino**: intent recognition engine, if you want to extract *intents*
+          out of your voice commands - for instance, the phrase "set the living
+          room temperature to 20 degrees" could be mapped to the intent with the
+          following parameters: ``intent``: ``set_temperature``, ``room``:
+          ``living_room``, ``temperature``: ``20``.
+
+        * **Leopard**: speech-to-text engine aimed at offline transcription of
+          audio files rather than real-time transcription.
