Unless Siri is one of the most active assistants in the market, at Apple it seems they don't know how to get it out to be a useful daily helper. Evidence of the difficulties Apple encountered when found in the shortcut program, but that could change in the future, hopefully not too far.
Carlertino-backed company bought Voysis an artificial intelligence company, through its technology used to improve Siri and its natural language
Apple confirmed the company's acquisition, with its general statement "We buy small technology companies from time to time and generally, we do not discuss our goals or our plans." But you don't have to be very smart to add 2 and 2 to clear that Apple will integrate Voysis code into Siri so you are able to answer some questions.
One of the key features that distinguished Voysis from other Artificial Intelligence systems is its poor footprint on the device, that is, its virtual space. Once the AI is trained, it takes only about 25 MB, this will allow Apple to execute a large number of processes on the device without needing a data connection, the same thing Google currently offers with Pixel 4, where Google Assistant doesn't need an Internet connection to work.
During these last years, Apple is lagging behind Google and Amazon, besides being one of the first companies to introduce a clear assistant, a fact now that seems to have begun to concern Tim Cook's company and reflected in recent acquisitions, acquisitions related to artificial intelligence companies (Emotient, Turi, VocalIQ and Xnor.ai) in addition to confirming the company's intention to break down on the cheaper speaker segment. and active, such as Amazon & # 39; s Echo list.
