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.
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".
[1] Well, a lot of people who use reddit and are interested enough in apple to be on an apple subreddit.
> 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?
More control over the wake word and name space, such that you don't have to say "hey Google tell some-long-app-name to blah blah blah".
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.
