Samsung Galaxy S8's Bixby virtual assistant will recognize products and text

19 January 2017
Using the camera, you would be able to point Bixby at stuff and have it buy them for you - a personal shopping assistant.

nkwama, 20 Jan 2017We all want AI which will interact with our daily lives, ev... moreWe already have Cortana which is the best AI currently on the market. All other virtual assistants look and work like alpha versions of a feature-less Cortana.

We only need to improve "her" and not focus on other lower quality assistants.

    Yes, so much this. We need at least 20 or 30 separate virtual assistants, and I personally won't be satisfied until I have at least 50 or 60 different payment apps on my phone.

      We all want AI which will interact with our daily lives, even without giving out a command, it respond, it ask questions, give exactly answers and not directing us to the search engines such as Google or Bing.

      In Sci-Fi movies, Jarvis (Ironman movies) and KITT car (Knight Rider TV show), they show us the way. That's what we all looking for.

      Currently, all the AI are just like alarms, reminders or directories with voices. And almost every company now is developing own AI, just flooding the market and confusing the consumers.

            [deleted post]if you can't get over Nokia's failure due to Microsoft's dumb moves and it's been years now since then, this Note 7 explosion thing will also stay for a while

              would be good brand in case ai could block other people.. much more interesting than privacy and data protection.

              but seriously, they make me paranoid and afraid of future

                              there is just no depth to the virtual assistants..i have tried google now and siri but both don't provide for anything more than asking for weather or opening an app..or it goes straight to a search.. i almost stopped writing this comment cos its so obvious...we all want jarvis..noone is saying it, thats all

                                    Meh, I just use Cortana on my Android phone and Windows laptop and I'm very happy :)

                                      Nice to see it's got advantages in an increasingly crowded AI arena.

                                        Now they will come here and complain that Samsung does not want to use Google assistant where google is the one that made it just for pixel not even for stock android which does not exist anymore
