How voice technology will change your life

We currently find ourselves in the second stage of this evolution, which we call the "interact" phase. We are treating our voice assistants more like a waiter - someone who has the ability to take our order, identify patterns in one's ordering and offer up suggestions that augment the human decision-making process. It makes recommendations rather than just takes orders. Technology leaders such as Amazon and Google are filing new patents designed to monitor more effectively what we say and do in order to serve up better recommendations and more relevant advertising and offers through their voice platforms. This trend for more precision-based, personalized recommendation engines driven by voice tech will only continue.
