New post: smart homes and vegetable peelers. How many smart things will we have in our homes? What will make sense? How much room is there here for startups? Will all these devices be connected to Alexa, and if they are, will it matter?https://www.ben-evans.com/benedictevans/2018/1/4/smart-homes-and-vegetable-peelers …

Thanks! With great tools to simplify the NLP (like http://API.AI ), I think we’ve seen an explosion of “one trick pony” consumer apps (similar to early iPhone App Store), so I’m interested to see what kinds of apps rise to “killer” status.

John, indeed. Just like the mobile-first revolution. The
#VoiceFirst revolution will generate completely new use cases that the “it’s just a cell phone” folks a dozen years ago could not have imagined: “Network is too slow” “battery life” “processor speed” arguments many used. - 1 more reply

John, I fully agree with Benedict that the
#VoiceFirst revolution is not really connected to IoT and Smarthomes. It is just a side point. There will be ~5 “killer apps” that will lunch the network effect for#VoiceFirst systems and none will be related to Smarthomes. -
Agree! I am working on delivering key business data (KPI's, metrics, status updates, etc.) as the KILLER VOICE APP for business. (Basically asking for the "weather" of your business every morning and throughout the day). No IoT or Smarthome.
