Companion Is The New Assistant

by admin

Did you hear that 2012 is the year of the assistant? It’s clear: Siri was only the beginning.

Today, assistants can do my bidding for a bunch of transactional, task-oriented use cases, saving me a precious steps along the way. In the future, assistants will be capable of doing more and more non-trivial things. And, Norm Winarsky is right — Siri isn’t one assistant to rule them all. We’ll soon have a cadre of specialized software agents at our side.
