Viv, parents of Siri, are preparing to launch another great product of artificial intelligence

When Scott Forstall made the demonstration of Siri and five years ago, we could say that artificial intelligence only saw in science fiction movies. I do not think Siri is software AI (I believe that the AI has to be-be more), if not one who understands more or less what we ask and we answer something that you have previously scheduled. Perhaps this is what you want to change Viv, the company that created the virtual assistant since 2011 accompanies us on all iOS devices and other Apple products.
For several years, we learned of the existence of Viv Labs ago but have not created anything since they were part of the team that created Siri. According to the Washington Post, on Monday launched its first assistant Viv artificial intelligence software that, as we can read in a tweet Dag Kittlaus, has been developing for three and a half years.


Showtime will be next after 3.5 years of work week


The third part of the team that was behind Siri is now Viv and intend to complete a bigger dream to be able to do much more than can the virtual assistant Apple. This sounds great but has to wait until Monday to see if they get what they propose.
Viv intended to be an open system, much as was the original version of Siri before Apple bought the software in 2010. As is known, now includes links to applications and services like Uber, FTD, SeatGuru and GrubHub. The publication of Washington Post cite the example that we order pizza from Domino's without having to make the call, which on the one hand demonstrates the potential of its software but, realistically, to have to talk like a machine, may be better to call and talk to a person or use an application, right? In any case, what we see on 9 May have prepared on Monday.
