# BlackBerry 10 Assistant: reconstructing Dragon and Maluuba protocols

> The BlackBerry 10 Assistant reference reconstructs the Dragon speech-service and Maluuba intent-service exchanges needed by the phone's original Assistant. It documents multipart audio and NLSML messages, JSON classifications, plugin intent fields and dialogue turns, along with the device settings and patches needed to direct the client to a replacement server.
