...just to name a few off the top of my head.
I agree that the excellent integration that Google or Apple products provide is not seen through the entire ecosystem of these other products, but it's being worked on and, to me at least, the progress being made is impressive.
- fixermark 10y agoThat's a good suite of software. But until and unless it has a personal assistant riding atop it that can couple world-class speech recognition (not just word recognition, but actual phrase semantics comprehension) with a knowldge graph to get from concept to concept, with the ability to smoothly move between pieces of data stored in those myriad services and systems, it's not really in the same league as what Google is trying to do with Assistant. I'm just not sure how one gets to where Google is on this without, for example, several human-decades worth of actual voice samples from "in the field" to train a multi-stage voice recognizer against, or an entire Internet's worth of search data and signal on how people navigate through and associate that data to build something like a knowledge graph. These may not be systems that can be open-developed into existence without a huge donation of data, money, mindpower, or all three.
