Voice assistants (also known as virtual assistants) are artificial intelligence systems that are programmed to execute activities such as playing music or checking the weather when spoken to. Voice assistants are becoming increasingly ubiquitous on new smartphones and smart speakers, as well as in cars and other media devices. Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, and Google Assistant are the most popular and intelligent voice assistants. They are the ones who give your smart devices their intelligence.
Voice applications add new features and functionality to a smart speaker and device, similar to how mobile applications provide extra features and usefulness to a smartphone. As previously said, most voice assistants are created by the manufacturer to execute basic activities based on what the device is capable of doing on its own. Voice apps, on the other hand, can be added to smart devices to expand their usefulness, such as ordering Domino’s pizza or seeking a ride from Uber.
