Samsung officially announces Bixby, the assistant that will make the Galaxy S8 adapt to you

20 March 2017
The company says it is fundamentally different from other voice agents or assistants in the market.

Sort by:

only fanboys here chattering on for samsung or against samsung....relevent questions....does it need a dedicated button really?? how badly does it rely on ram??how much of our monthly data will be chewn off?? any dedicated chipset for it like the camera v-ram?how much of invasion of privacy will it mean by it learning? will 4gb of ram suffice for a heavy ui like samsung's?? most importantly is there a note 8 coming later this year??

    PLAYER SLAYER, 20 Mar 2017This sounds exactly like what S Voice was supposed to do. I... moreYou are another stupid Samsung hater who don't know what to say to mock a device like this. The fifth generation of computers is based on AI, making computers which can do things which needs a human being otherwise. Making computers which can perform human like functions. It consists of image processing, neural networks, game playing, natural language and robotics. Natural language processing is one of the most important field among them and large number of expert minds are working on it from a long time to make it as natural as possible. While a company is becoming successful in achieving that goal you are spreading your stupidity around here by saying such non sense things. You won't give anything to this world so stop mocking others too who are working hard on making machines closer to humans.

Right? Why there are millions of chat apps coming everyday when we have messenger? Companies should stop to develop products which are already there like new TVs, cars, softwares. You hate S8 because you can't afford it, it's okay. But don't say something so stupid which makes you look like the dumbest person.

                  why R&D on some feature which is already available, waste of time and money. use Google Assistance which is NOW not EXCLUSIVE to pixel devices. could use the same time for HARMAN.

                    This sounds exactly like what S Voice was supposed to do. I'm betting that this'll be another half-baked-at-best attempt at an AI assistant from Samsung. I mean, why would I ask Bixby to perform a function, when there's a high probability for error, when I could just do it myself, in the exact amount of time? Voice assistants should only be used for simple functions, they get increasingly frustrating when you try not complex operations. I just hope to the buyers of those phones, that you'll get a choice to use Google Assistant.

                        Nice to know s8 will have a feature s4 was born with.

                          I hate to judge a book (an unreleased one too) by it's cover but I must say I've got a bad feeling about this.......
