Samsung today introduced the second generation of its voice assistant Bixby. The new version thus comes seven months after Bixby first saw the light of day before the launch Galaxy S8 to Galaxy S8+. According to Samsung, Bixby 2.0 is a major leap forward for digital assistants and is designed to be available on all devices.
The main advantage of Bixby 2.0 is that it will be available not only on smartphones, but also on TVs, refrigerators, home speakers and other products. In addition, the new generation of Bixby will be open, making it available to even more developers, who will determine exactly how the assistant will behave in their applications.
Samsung let it be known that Bixby 2.0 will get a touch of humanity, mainly thanks to natural language, commands and more complex processing. Thus, he can really get to know and understand who you are and who your family members are. In addition, Bixby is designed to be deeply integrated into applications, differentiating it from other AI-based assistants such as Siri or Cortana.
For the time being, the new Bixby will visit selected developers who will be provided with an SDK so that they can slowly implement the new feature into their applications.
