The picture shows the newly developed Echo model of Amazon.
Voice assistant based on artificial intelligence has become one of the hottest areas in the Internet industry. Vendors such as Google and Amazon are working with massive third parties to let people use their voices to control cars, refrigerators, curtains, lights, and more. According to the latest news from foreign media, Amazon's voice assistant Alexa has more than 15,000 functions.
According to US media reports, Amazon has confirmed the above statistics to the media, that is, the number of Alexa functions at the end of June exceeded 15,000.
Including Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, voice assistant developers are now working with external hardware vendors, one familiar voice is out of the official service, implanted into more external hardware.
For example, various manufacturers are currently cooperating with automobile companies. Consumers of Ford, Volvo, Hyundai and other cars can use the Alexa tool to control the car in a talking manner. Obviously, the more external partners and the more complex the functions, the more functions Alexa has.
In the global voice assistant market, Amazon is a laggard, but plays the role of a dark horse. At the 2017 International Consumer Electronics Show in the United States, Amazon Alexa became a behind-the-scenes hero, because many of the exhibiting hardware was embedded in Alexa, and its limelight has surpassed Google's assistant.
According to reports, in June last year, Alexa's number of features exceeded 1,000, and in February this year, it broke through the 10,000 mark. From the data point of view, Alexa's speed of covering external hardware is amazing.
In terms of third-party cooperation, Amazon is far ahead of the industry. According to statistics, the number of voice applications based on Google smart speakers is only 378, and Microsoft's Cortana has only 65.
Of course, the number of functions does not mean everything. Among Alexa's functions, some have practical value, and some are somewhat tasteless. The media also pointed out that the number of functions is too complicated, but it is not good for ordinary consumers to accept voice assistant tools.
A consumer survey by Adobe recently showed that 40% of users are not flustered by voice assistants. The main reason is that the used Apple Siri is too bad.
The application space of the voice assistant is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. In addition to controlling household appliances and smart homes, it is reported that some foreign commercial software developers are developing the functions of using Alexa inside the company, such as in a company's warehouse. The library administrators no longer need to open the management computer and application software, only need to use the dialogue to query information, input information and so on.
Within Amazon, the most important device for Alexa is Echo, which has become the most successful technology industry invention in recent years, triggering the imitation of Google and Apple. At the global development conference, Apple released its own smart speakers, but the price is twice as high as the opponent.
Obviously, Amazon has already led the industry in terms of its concept. When other vendors indulged in emulating Echo, Amazon began to form alliances with a large number of third-party hardware vendors, making Alexa a ubiquitous "voice personal assistant." (integrated / dawn)
