1. A personal audio assistant, comprising:
- a housing for an electronic personal audio assistant device;
a first microphone of the electronic personal audio assistant device for capturing audio;
a logic circuit of the electronic personal audio assistant device;
a communication module of the electronic personal audio assistant device; and
a user interaction element of the electronic personal audio assistant device;
wherein the electronic personal audio assistant device communicates via peer-to-peer behavior to a peer electronic personal audio assistant device, which enables access, via the peer-to-peer behavior, to a remote server for analysis of captured audio by the first microphone, wherein the captured audio includes a request to share digital audio with the peer electronic personal audio assistant device, wherein the server determines that the peer electronic personal audio assistant device is a compliant device;
wherein the server provides the digital audio and the electronic personal audio assistant device relays the digital audio to the peer electronic personal audio assistant device.
