Siri Inventors To Unleash Viv Virtual Assistant Next Monday

Tech savvy Apple mobile device users who enjoy the company of Siri may have a bittersweet feeling as younger sis Viv will replace the virtual assistant that the consumers seemed to like.

"Tell Viv what you want and it will orchestrate this massive network of services that will take care of it," Viv's Chief Executive Dag Kittlaus revealed on The Guardian. But he went on to explain further that Viv, although savvier, still remains merely a virtual assistant.

"What happens when you have a system that is 10,000 times more capable?" he asks. "It will shift the economics of the internet."

And for that, Christian Science Monitor had guessed what Viv could do to his owner like simple things such as ordering a pizza or flowers for presents, hailing a cab, to more complicated tasks like "drawing on data from other web services, such as FTD, Uber, and GrubHub, with little typing, clicking, or further input from you."

With such intelligence and capabilities, The Washington Post reportedly called it as "one of the most highly anticipated technologies expected to come out of a start-up this year."

As for its release, Viv will allegedly be introduced to public on Monday. And so far, Viv is just one of the more bots that starting to mark another step in high technology.

"It's about taking the way that humans have naturally interacted with each other for thousands of years and applying that to the way they interact with services," Mr. Kittlaus told the newspaper. "Everyone knows how to hold a conversation."

The report added further that Kittlaus is still expanding VIv's intelligence by negotiating with other companies that makes smart products because he wants to unite them with the intelligence of the newly made virtual assistant.

This might be another higher leap for Apple and other companies that also make this kind of technology.
