The creators of iPhone's Siri have now created Viv, a personal assistant. Powered by artificial intelligence and an unprecedented amount of data, Viv could be the first step to connecting every service and business to the Internet. With Nuance Communications technology, the sounds a person makes are converted into on-screen words, which enables Viv to understand what the person is saying.
What differentiates Viv is the program generator. This takes the question asked and the user's intent and quickly drafts software code that calls the services needed, generating the layout of the screen and the dialog.
“In ten milliseconds, Viv wrote a 44-step program regarding that Golden Gate Bridge query connecting all the services needed,” he said. This, he described, is basically self-written code.
