Viki can be a game changer. Not just a trend. Look at here map, mixradio, pureview...

    For now, it is a trendy gimmick. I'm not saying no one uses it, but it's use Is just like note styluses(or even less) , I mean first week and then forgotten.

      Well, you need to know right commands. Only enjoyment though is using Cortana as it has at least some interesting background regarding name, so it doesn't feel so unnatural. I only wish that this Cortana will be someday as great as one in the game. AI got big potential if they will use neuron networks(/smthing similar), if so you can get what you want to be done with few words without learning some commands.

            nokia just go back to grave.. with your horrible ancient logo style.. not re-designed!

              AnonD-125478, 09 Jan 2017well I'm very a Nokia Fan, and I just really agree with u, ... moreGreat to hear that you still have your N8. The only Nokia phone I have right now is the Nokia Asha 200, too old phone, but still is very high quality. I'm impressed, but I'm looking forward to see what Nokia has to bring at MWC 2017. Their flagship phone will decide whether their comeback is a true success or a failure, but I'm sure it will be a success,

                  HMD has no AI or NLP research. They will just license an assistant from somebody and rebadge it with their own name.

                                    Could be very wrong but was viki the AI in iRobot (2004). The very ai nobody wants to overthrow humanity. I think nokia chose the right name, kill all humans

                                        Seriously, this is getting out of hand. Companies have to stop creating so many AI assistants. Android has Google Now, and that's enough. We don't need so much AI assistants on Android. How about each company will focus on one AI and making it better?
