Apple’s Siri was the first voice assistant on the scene, debuting on the iPhone 4S in 2011. Siri is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) algorithms that allow it to understand and respond to questions and commands in human speech. Siri can perform a variety of tasks, from setting alarms to sending text messages, and is constantly learning new skills as Apple adds updates. However, Siri does have its limitations; for example, it cannot currently perform tasks that require more than one step (such as adding an item to a grocery list and then setting a reminder for when to buy it).
Amazon’s Alexa followed close on Siri’s heels, debuting on the Amazon Echo in 2014. Like Siri, Alexa is powered by AI and NLP algorithms that enable her to understand and respond to questions and commands. Alexa also boasts an ever-growing skill set, thanks to constant updates from Amazon. One area where Alexa excels is in her ability to handle multi-step tasks; for example, she can easily add an item to a grocery list, set a reminder for when to buy it, and even place an order for it online—all with just a few simple commands.
Microsoft’s Cortana debuted in 2014 as well, but unlike Siri and Alexa, she was not originally designed as a digital assistant for home use. Instead, Cortana was developed as a productivity tool for Microsoft Windows users. However, Cortana did eventually make her way into the home via the Harman Kardon Invoke speaker in 2017. Cortana is powered by the same AI and NLP algorithms as her competitors; however, she has one key advantage over them—her deep integration with Microsoft products such as Office 365 and Outlook. This gives her access to a wealth of information that allows her to be more helpful than other voice assistants when it comes to things like scheduling appointments and managing email.

ปกติเมื่อเราถามเวลา เราก็จะได้เวลา แต่ครั้งนี้แปลกเมื่อ Siri จะค้นหาจากเว็บและหาข้อมูลเกี่ยวกับ “what time is it” แทนที่จะตอบเวลามา…Continue reading on CHALAAD »
Does anyone else here feel that your echo just won’t shut up? I ask for a sports score on a game and I expect the score, not the location of the game, the time, who is playing, I just want the score. Brief mode is on, but it still won’t give things a rest. And don’t get me started with the “also, you can do this…”. Siri is useless af (hopefully won’t be soon) but at least it is to the point and doesn’t waste your time submitted by /u/DookieGobbler [link] [comments]

I have two Amazon Echo devices, one newer spherical one and an older flat dot. I’m trying to make them play music together as they’re in separate rooms. This works, but only when I play music through the Alexa app. Now, I don’t want Alexa playing Spotify unless it’s connected to what I’m playing on my phone. Every time I try to play it, it only plays from one Echo. I don’t know how to fix this. submitted by /u/Mini-Mestiza [link] [comments]

As Title. A new app called "ovo power nap" showed up on my Echo Show 5. Instead of displaying my lovely pictures constantly... it ONLY shows "Is it time for an OVO power nap?" .. and I can't turn the Ad screen OFF!! I've disabled the skill, and I would normally expect the 'ad' screen to appear in 'home content'... but 'everything' is disabled for home content. Anyone else have any experience with this? submitted by /u/mister-fackfwap [link] [comments]

I'm using my fire tablet as an Alexa show in my bedroom. I was able to link my TCL TV with the app and it works (sorta). I can turn the TV off with Alexa but I can't turn it on. Also if I ask to launch apps like YouTube or Netflix on the TV it will open them on my tablet. submitted by /u/LCDJosh [link] [comments]
