Markus, great points. You know IBM in 1976 and 1984 may have thought this. Nokia and Blackberry/RIM in 2008 may have thought this. Amazon Fire Phone folks in 2014 may have thought this. Copy they will, but access to talent and vision ain’t gonna be made by 100,000 folks guessing.

The big tech companies have all either acquired equivalent voice platforms (Siri, Alexa), similar NLP platforms/other components (Dialogflow, http://API.ai , http://Wit.ai , Alexa skills kit) or built their own (Google Home, Cortana).

Technologically their capabilities are all roughly the same. Amazon is clearly leading however because of their strategy of embedding Alexa chips into millions of devices. This will determine the winners imho - not technology.

Markus, indeed. You are speaking of the steady-state and the past and are quite correct. I am addressing the future and it is not linear or obvious. If it was, they would be doing it already. As for market demand, in my estimations it will be the biggest we have ever seen.

Markus, I know it all sounds fantastical and bold, perhaps a bit arrogant. I concede this. However one way or another it will turn out to be the case—if I had ever had a history of accuracy in the past.

Btw, check this out. It’s a bit of a side project for my company

Thanks. Our take on voice is that one of the biggest issues is lack of availability of basic APIs with which to build voice skills, especially for payment – and that’s exactly what we solve with the Automation Cloud.

We already do this for many aggregators (mainly in travel + financial services) outside of voice and figured the same technology could be applied to the voice space, given the fact that people will want to buy the same services as they do on the web/apps.

The other important factor is that the availability of APIs is completely out of control of Amazon/Apple/Google - i.e. you can only build a movie booking skill if there is a movie booking API for each cinema. We change this and put in control of the developers
