According to Samsung, Bixby also understands the way users actually speak, ask questions and make requests. With its iterative deep learning technology, Bixby is designed to improve over time to recognize the customer’s personal preferences and ways of speaking.
Samsung says Bixby is an intelligent interface, rather than a standalone app. When an application becomes Bixby-enabled, Bixby will support almost every task that the application is capable of performing using voice, touch or text. Bixby’s deep integration is also built into the smartphone settings so that users can change phone options– such as setting the screen timeout or showing all notifications– without interrupting what they are currently doing.
Samsung plans to continue expanding Bixby’s voice capabilities to additional countries, languages, devices, features and third-party applications.
Users can now activate Bixby by holding the dedicated button on the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ phones, or by simply saying, ‘Hi, Bixby’.
