Reading up on voice-assistants

Apple's integration of Siri AI across devices, leveraging Google's Gemini and its default status, positions it to dominate consumer AI despite not being technically groundbreaking.

AI should be integrated invisibly into products that solve real user problems, like making Siri reliable, rather than being sold as a standalone technology.

Amazon's devices chief Panos Panay says the company is not primarily focused on making a smartphone, instead emphasizing Alexa+ as an AI-powered upgrade to its voice assistant after overcoming technical delays.
