technically and it’s not
intended to be a replacement
for Google.”

9. MICROSOFT CORTANA

10.  Cortana: everything you need to know about Microsoft's Siri rival.
To anyone who's played the Halo games, Cortana needs no introduction:
she's an advanced artificial intelligence and Master Chief's only real friend.
Cortana is currently the code name for a whole new way of controlling Windows Phone,
and in the longer term maybe Windows too.

11. THE CORTANA INTERFACE

12. Amazon’s Echo is a curious device, but one that
is the first to demonstrate the truly
transformative potential of voice-based
computing. The hardware is solid, voice
recognition is strong and the features it does
offer are extremely useful.
ALEXA VIRTUAL ASSISTANT

14. Google Now is all about easy access and simplicity.
When triggering voice commands, you can simply say,
"OK, Google…“
and then give your command. Like Siri and Cortana,
you can look up info online, but Google Now is also
good at delivering personal recommendations based
on your search history and preferences

15. Let’s Evaluate Using Five Criteria
1.Search engine powering the digital assistant
2.Voice behind the digital assistant
3.Device compatibility
4.Functionality
5.Personality

17. Google Now—All The Way
• Google Now has more functionality
(especially with AndroidWare on it’s way)
• Smartphones are becoming assistants. Google
Now is a direct connection to that function and
will guide the future of Search Marketing.
