Here's a video of the product if you're as curious as I was. Siri/Alexa for enterprise users -- https://iamplus.com/enterprise/ https://iamplus.com/enterprise/ Seems like a smart market entry point. Enterprise employee virtual assistants are probably a wide open market today because Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Samsung focus on consumer AIs. Easy to envision a startup getting solid, near-term customer traction with a keyword-driven voice product.

Not going to knock it, but I don't really get it. How different can an enterprise version of this be? Probably a lot more to the plan here than this video. Out of all the different voice things out there (Siri, Alexa, Google, Cortana, whatever), I've only ever done 3 commands really: > Hey Google! What's the weather? > Hey Google! Play ____ music on Spotify. > Hey Google! What sound does a cow make? Does anyone have stats on how the general population are using these things? So far, just for me personally, I can't really find a way to be more productive with any of this tech. Conspiracy nut in me first reaction is, "Ok, a new way to spy on companies".

  I use Siri to add things to OmniFocus multiple times a day, "Hey Siri, remind me to ...", a lot of people seem to use it for a lot of things[1]: https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/549ytw/how_many_of_you_actually_use_siri_and_for_what/ https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/549ytw/how_many_of_y... [1] Well, a lot of people who use reddit and are interested enough in apple to be on an apple subreddit.

    My most common pattern is "Siri, remind me to ____ when I get home". The geolocation-"awareness" really hits my soft spot.

  These are Enterprise functions I would pay for, but are not currently an option. > Hey Google! Clock out. > Hey Google! Clock in. > Hey Google! Is anyone on my team out sick today? > Hey Google! Do I have any outstanding invoices? > Hey Google! Is anyone on my team behind schedule on accomplishing X task?

  Useful for home automation. Useful in circumstances where you are working with both hands doing something else. I've been using voice commands daily now. Nobs and buttons are going to start disappearing and then you won't have a choice. The bigger question to me is how a startup is going to compete with Amazon & Google's voice APIs/cloud services in the mid term much less the long run. Unless it is a play for acquihire.

  Timer 15 minutes. I use that all the time. I would use it (siri) a LOT more if it didn't suck so much.
