From domestic robots to drones, Artificial Intelligence (AI) to smart cars, we are now apparently surrounded by endless tech innovations – all set to enhance the way we experience the world around us.
We can now rely on a next generation, smart, voice based assistants to remind us of our meetings, travel plans, order a cab, check for the best available insurance plans and keep a tab on premiums due, order grocery, control lighting and much more – without the need to glance at a smartphone or computer screen!
Thanks to the rise of AI and natural language processing (NLP) algorithms, we are now surrounded by devices that listen, learn and respond to us. These smart, voice-based assistants are changing the way we get around, shop and even manage our devices at home. Now they are not only making the tedious tasks easier, but also helping enterprises across multiple verticals in enhancing customer experiences.
But how?
Living in the cloud and listening to users through physical devices, today’s voice-based digital assistants have the potential to find and report crucial information, as well as slice and dice the data according to user instructions. With self learning capabilities, they interact with users in a natural way and help in streamlining a number of business processes as well as boosting employee efficiency.
