I guess your Rival...
Viv is an artificial intelligence platform, developed by Siri co-founders Dag Kittlaus and Adam Cheyer, that enables developers to distribute their products through an intelligent and conversational interface. It’s the simplest way for the world to interact with devices, services and things everywhere. Viv is taught by the world, knows more than it is taught, and learns every day.
What makes Viv different is in its desire to be truly multi-platform. The team wants Viv to run not just on all mobile devices (no matter the platform), but to tackle home hardware, appliances and other gadgets with its always-listening interface, a la Amazon’s ‘Alexa’.
And most fascinating thing is that the program is always learning, means unlike Siri, which defaults to a Web search when it doesn’t understand — or can’t find — an answer, developers can teach Viv new concepts and intents and watch its speech recognition improve over time. What makes Viv's AI truly unique, though, is a patented computer science breakthrough called dynamic program generation—it's software that writes itself and this is where Viv stands apart from other digital assistants. In 10 milliseconds, Viv can write a 44-step program figuring out the context around a query. All that dynamic code generation in the background makes for a faster, more natural conversational UI.
