Samsung buys another AI company as it continues to build out Bixby

It's true that Bixby didn't have the most auspicious of debuts when it rolled out on the Galaxy S8 earlier this year, but Samsung's clearly got big plans for its smart assistant. Late last year, the company picked up Viv, the new assistant from the folks behind Siri -- an acquisition that occurred too late to have a major impact on Bixby ahead of release. The consumer electronics giant is at it again, picking up fellow South Korean company, Fluenty -- news first noted by The Korea Herald.
