Siri creators reveal next generation voice assistant 'Viv' Netimperative - latest digital marketing news

The team behind Apple's voice assistant Siri have revealed their latest independent project "Viv", an AI bot that lives on your phone and aims to be "the intelligent interface for everything." Viv was unveiled at Techcruch's Disrupt conference, where a 20-minute demo wowed the audience with a real-time demonstration of its capabilities. The company behind Viv has dubbed it "The Global Brain", and its strength lies in tight partnerships with popular services, and a unique way of understanding human queries. Unlike Siri, Viv's approach is much closer to Amazon's Alexa or Facebook's Messenger bots, offering the ability to connect with third-party merchants and vendors so that it can execute on requests to purchase goods or book reservations.
