Siri was developed by a company that took over a military technology and modified it to make it available to the general public, Apple acquiring this company almost two years before the system was implemented in the iPhone 4S. Crab turned out to be one of the biggest achievements of the Apple company, the system motivating its competitors to implement similar technologies in their own smartphones to be able to offer customers what they had in Apple terminals.
Walking backwards in time, Adam discussed the technical history of Siri as well as how the vision of virtual personal assistants evolved over time. He wowed the audience with a video from 1987 on a concept from Apple where he predicted a Siri like device 24 years in the future and was only off by 2 weeks.
Speaking at the Listen 2014 conference, the founder of the company that created Siri, Adam Chayer, spoke about the personal assistant creation process for the platform iOS, but also about his experience at Apple. Cheyer began his speech with a video clip from 1987 in which a concept of the Apple company presented a virtual assistant that will be launched 24 years from that moment, and it seems that the prediction of the American company was wrong by only two weeks.
Apart from this return to the past, Cheyer also spoke about his experience within Apple, the company acquired by those from Cupertino being almost entirely integrated into the staff at its headquarters to develop Siri. In this idea, Cheyer had the opportunity to work together with Tim Cook and Steve Jobs on this project and presented how the current and former CEO of the American company carried out their activities both within the company and outside it.
I recommend you to watch the video clip if you are interested in learning the secrets behind Siri because you will discover a multitude of interesting news.
