  • It builds itself!

    What makes Viv extraordinary?

    What makes Viv extraordinary?
  • Viv has been positioned as a futuristic evolution of intelligent AI.

    The programmatic nature of its back-end systems makes it capable of writing its own code and accomplish tasks unheard of before.

    This "dynamic program generation" allows Viv to understand the user's intent and create programs to handle it.

    Viv can answer layered questions which other competing AI programs simply aren't equipped for.

    Why Samsung?

  • Dag Kittlaus co-creator of Siri and Viv was asked to talk about their partnership with Samsung, Kittlaus responded, "They ship 500 million devices a year. You asked me onstage about what our real goal is, and I said ubiquity."

    Samsung's strategy

    Samsung's strategy
    Credits:
  • Samsung explained that 'Viv' had been built keeping consumers and developers in mind and hence was an "ideal candidate to integrate with Samsung's home appliances and wearables."

    Given that there has been a paradigm shift in people's interaction with technology towards intelligent-interfaces and voice control, Samsung's vision is to deliver an open-ecosystem anchored in AI across products and services.

    Viv 'revolutionary' for Samsung

  • Rhee In-jong, Samsung's Executive Vice President explained in an interview, "Viv brings in a very unique technology to allow us to have an open system where any third-party service and content providers (can) add their services to our devices' interfaces."

  • Microsoft has heavily invested in 'smart bots'. CEO Nadella said, "At the heart of the paradigm shift from apps to bots was the concept of "conversation as a platform."

    Amazon's 'Alexa' can play music, deliver news, sports-scores, weather and control your smarthome.

    'Google Home' is a Wi-Fi speaker that doubles as a smarthome control-centre and an assistant for the family to manage everyday chores.
