Over the past years, several personal assistant systems have appeared, and all of them are wonderful, such as Google Assistant, Alexa from Amazon, and even Cortana from Microsoft, and we do not forget the oldest of them, Siri from Apple, but there is an absent player, which is Samsung. Comparison between other systems, but it seems that Samsung wants to reverse the situation as it announced its next assistant Bixby, which it claims is better than everyone as usual, so how true is this claim? These are the stated features.

Samsung Assistant (the best) Bixby

"Full" assistant

Apple has allowed developers to use Siri with their applications, but within certain limits, it supports specific types of applications and also supports specific features such as sending messages or requesting taxis, but the Samsung Assistant will be fully integrated with the programs in the sense that once the developer modifies his application to support Bixby, the assistant can Performing most of the functions performed by the application, i.e., semi-complete control

Understand the context

When you request anything from the current assistants in the market, they start new tasks, but Samsung says that its assistant can recognize the context in which the request was made, such as requesting something while using a specific application, and the assistant gives you application-specific results that are proportional to what is currently working on the application and will not Starts any new tasks or interrupts current work. The assistant must also provide the ability to use it with touch and voice (we will not know the actual method until after the phones are released and the technology is tested).

Not adhering to specific orders as much as possible

Most personal assistants have a library of commands that require the user to say them directly and are identical to those stored in the assistant's memory in order to do the command such as the question “send a message for this”. You find this sentence stored in Siri's memory and then Siri executes the request and can not execute it if you reformulate it properly. More difficult. With the new assistant from Samsung, he is supposed to analyze the command and compare it with the closest similar command in his library to execute it.

Good ideas but?

Of course, in theory, all the features look great, and we can only make sure of their work well when new devices are released and the personal assistant experience, but let's assume that all of these features work really well, so the next hurdle will be application support. When Apple releases a feature, we guarantee that most of the applications will be updated to use the new feature. As for Samsung phones, the matter is different because this means that the developer will have to develop his application to comply with the features found in Samsung devices only, and therefore Samsung must achieve giant sales in order to convince many developers to support The feature would have been easier to support if it was on the Android platform and not just Samsung.

What do you think of the initial presentation of the new Bixby Assistant? Do you see succeed or fail?
