After some time, Doug and Adam Kitlaus Cheyer, the creators of Siri, left Apple, remains unsatisfied development of voice assistant, and founded his own company Viv Labs. Now Viv Labs is developing a new virtual assistant Viv, who, according to the statements of some insiders, can radically change the idea of how you can interact with mobile devices.
New virtual assistant from Viv Labs will not just equipped with a large number of pre-programmed responses, as Siri. Viv will have artificial intelligence, the ability to analyze information from various sources and instantly generate the desired response.

Moreover, query processing, and search for the assistant takes a split second.
Unlike assistant Siri, which is still before the acquisition was aimed at the Apple mobile devices, Viv may appear in the "smart" TVs, cars, and, in fact, any devices that are connected to the Internet. Viv - a very ambitious project with a revolutionary vision.
"If the team cope with this task, we will see the future of intelligent technology and the emergence of multi-billion dollar industry" - said Oren Etzioni, an expert in artificial intelligence from Allenovskogo Institute.
