Gabriela :Good afternoon, Professor Carolyn
Villasante. Good afternoon colleagues. Today,
Gabriela Yoplac and my partner, Brenda Gariazo, are going to talk about virtual assistants.
Brenda : These are the best known Alexa by
Amazon, Google Assistant by Google, Cortana by Windows, and Siri by Apple.
Gabriela : we start with Alexa, Alexa is the voice-
controlled virtual assistant created by Amazon to be used. You start by invoking it by saying its name, at which point the speaker or device in which it is integrated will start listening. Then you have to say a command with your voice, and the assistant will recognize what you ask and tell you an answer. now the activities you can do with alexa in the past people used to write their shopping list on a piece of paper but now people usually tell alexa their shopping list and she writes it down also in the past people used to buy alarms, nowadays with the help of alexa you can set alarms for whatever you want , a lot of people think that there is only alexa since in these times she has become very famous but in fact there is also the google assistant that is from google Google Assistant is a virtual assistant powered by Artificial Intelligence by Google that is primarily available on mobile and smart home devices. google assistant activities are more or less similar to those of alexa, for example, before people used to look for information in books, to make reservations they used to call by phone but actually people usually tell google asitand for these activities in the past also people used to turn on the radio to listen to your favorite songs but actually thanks to google assistant you can tell it what your favorite song is on
brenda : now some people think these are the only
ones because you are not mistaken, since there is also Cortana, Cortana is a virtual assistant created by Microsoft for Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows Phone 8.1, Invoke smart speaker, Microsoft Band, Xbox One, Windows Mixed Reality In the past, people used to write letters to compose an important message, but now you can do it together with Cortana. In the past people used to write down important dates on a physical calendar, but now people can tell Cortana to write it down. now we have the oldest and most famous this siri, Siri is an artificial intelligence with personal assistant functions sometimes with its own personality for iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS. the things you can do with siri are varied for example. in the past people used to use planners to jot down certain tasks, but now people often jot down together with siri also before we used to watch a football game or other sports for hours, but nowadays people can tell siri to tell you the final result Gabriela :Now, as you may have already noticed, the activities of these assistants are more or less similar, so we are going to compare them white as , next. alexa by amazon is as popular as google assistant since we are talking about two big companies the google assistant is not as expensive as alexa, at least in a price comparison that i did, however for me both are expensive
and the last
google assistant is as smart as alexa, but i like them
both, and i would like to have them both
brenda . Comparisons between Siri and Cortana are
as follows Cortana is not as popular as Siri because although Microsoft is a very famous company, her assistant is not known.
Cortana is not Siri's age, in fact Siri is the oldest of
all these assistants.
Siri is just as organized as Cortana as they help you
to do many activities. Gabriela : In conclusion, Google Assistant and Alexa are as useful to us as Cortana and Siri are to people.
Brenda :ok this is all for today, thanks for watching,
