Siri/Cortana/Alexa - Like AI for Commanders

Would it be possible? Imagine this:

You're on a long hauling run in your Python. You just jumped into Yaque and are looking to dock at the Hague Orbital. Instead of looking thru the navigation menu, you speak into your headset mic and say, "[AI's Name], Target Hague Orbital." You Frame Shift fly your ship into the vicinity of the station and then say, "[AI's Name], Request Docking." Now, while you're landing your ship at the assigned docking platform, the song that's been playing on your Pandora account finishes and a crap song comes on. So you say, "[AI's Name] Skip Pandora Song", while you're bringing up the Commodities Exchange and dumping your fat load of fresh profit.

Would it be possible to integrate current voice activated personal assistant AI technology into the game as a feature/pilot companion and helper?

As metatheurgist says - what you are asking for can be provided by using Voice Attack program and a Voice Pack of your choice.

Here! Try one or all of these, as I have. And they work quite well!.
Edit: Make sure your OS is speech recognition compatible or you might have to manually download additional software, if compatible, to use Voice Attack. The required specifications should be on the website.

About 10 USD but well worth it as it works with many other games (pending EULA rules) and your PC. There is support for this on the Frontier forums (experienced) as well as the devs sites.

- EDDI VA Plugin - Recommended and free

Edit: The EDDI is the pest plugin I've use so far. Almost install and play besides registering for an API key and enabling in VA. Relays so much info (system info , star/celestial/station info, NPC factions state, station market, etc.) it's annoying but you can turn off certain "triggers" you don't need or use. And with a little research and programming skills ALMOST fully customizable. There's support in the Frontier forums.

Cheap Head Tracking

Edit: If you're thinking about purchasing a head tracking unit I would suggest the ED Tracker Pro. The "standard" or MPU 6050 version only has a accelerometer and gyros which causes the POV to drift over time. While the Pro version (MPU 9250) has added a magnetometer to correct for the drift.
