Although Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), he bought Crab and hired the creators of the technology for mobile terminals, some of the original founders of the system left the Apple company shortly after the change, and now they are preparing the launch of a new personal assistant called Viv.
According to some information that appeared during the day today, Viv is much more advanced than any other virtual personal assistant on the market, the artificial intelligence system created for it giving it a serious advantage over competing systems available for mobile terminals.
At the moment, a third of the team that developed Siri works at Viv, and the developed technology is the one that was supposed to be implemented in Siri, the development process of this system starting in 2003, long before the appearance of Siri.
Unlike Siri, Viv is able to do many more tasks, and as an example is ordering food without any special application being installed in the users' terminals, tasks of this kind can be performed by virtual robots you have Facebook, for example.
"Get me a pizza from Pizz'a Chicago near my office," one of the engineers said into his smartphone. It was their first real test of Viv, the artificial-intelligence technology that the team had been quietly building for more than a year. Everyone was a little nervous. Then, a text from Viv piped up: "Would you like toppings with that?"
Until now, the creators of Viv have implemented in the system the functionality offered by more than 50 applications for mobile terminals, so users can do almost anything from ordering food or a taxi, all using only voice commands and without opening any application.
The strange part is that these functions were implemented even in Siri, but the Apple company eliminated them, completely removing the functionality offered by more than 42 applications available in the App Store at the time Siri was officially launched.
For now, no one knows when it will be released Viv for mobile terminals, but its appearance could put the usefulness of current assistants for mobile terminals in a completely different light
