The Samsung Galaxy S8 will have its own virtual assistant

Samsung

Virtual assistance is on its way to becoming that service that your company must have to stay in the spotlight and compete against the rest. If we have gone through the dual camera configuration or the edge sides, the ability to have natural conversations is next, if not it already is.

Now it is Samsung that almost proclaims to the four winds than your next brand new Galaxy S8, that we know will not even have barely any bezels, will integrate the virtual assistant created by Viv Labs, a team made up of those who created Siri, the support of iOS itself.

A Samsung executive this past weekend mentioned that developers will be able to add and upload services to agent. What this means is that this new assistant will be able to function properly with third-party services, which opens up its possibilities and looks in other directions. This ability brings you closer to Google Assistant than Siri, since the latter is surrounded by the limitations of iOS, a more closed OS than Google's.

Digital assistance is in fashion and we have the different bets coming from Google, Apple and Microsoft each with its own assistant called in a different way. We also have Amazon's Alexa on your Echo, which puts us before another series of gadgets that we will see soon included in the rooms from our homes and that will allow us to play music, save a specific event or perform a search. Among all of them, the one that is capable of making natural conversations with the user will stand out, so we have some very interesting years ahead of us.

Not surprisingly, Samsung wants to use his recent acquisition of Viv into an assistant that can be integrated into both your Galaxy phones and your home apps.
