The document discusses the evolution of smart applications from mobile apps to voice AI and natural language interfaces. It notes that the mobile app market is saturated, most apps are deleted quickly, and users only engage with a small number. The document then argues that voice AI accessed through ubiquitous displays like TVs provides a more natural interface that does not require downloading apps or learning a user interface. It suggests voice AI combined with visual displays opens new possibilities for applications in various domains like commerce, social media, and more.

3. The Mobile Ecosystem Today - The Evolving Landscape
The mobile app stores have become saturated and extremely noisy. Why?
- 2.2 million apps on the Apple App Store and 2.8 million apps on the android app store!
- These days, people are more reluctant to install your apps.
- Once they do install an app, if it requires them to think or do too much, they won’t use it.
- Vast majority of apps that do get installed by users, get deleted after one or two uses. A
significant percentage gets deleted within 1 - 2 weeks.
- Even if your app remains installed in a phone, it’s unlikely to be used. Most people only
use a very small number of apps that are on their phone.
Bottom line: The golden years of mobile apps are gone. The benefits. impact and ROI have faded
significantly in recent years. It’s much more difficult to have an impact under current conditions.

the focal point in many different spaces.
There occupying prime real estate in our:
- Bedrooms
- Hotels rooms
- Meeting rooms, Boardrooms
- In lobbies, hallways and waiting areas

6. The Advantages of Natural Language + Natural Voice + AI
- No apps to download, install and setup!
- It’s hands free!
- No user interface to learn!
- No websites to visit!
- No cognitive load - does not require thinking, no effort required!
- Extreme ease of use - frictionless.
- Does not take up space on your phone.
- It passes the “DVD vs online movie test” . So they engage more.
- It’s a much more natural form of interaction. The technology just disappears and stays out of
your way.
The Advantage of Voice AI + Ultra HD Display (that very expensive TV that you already own!)
- Fills in a crucial gap by displaying non-verbal information in a hands-free manner. Your voice is
the new remote/mouse/keyboard. It open up a world of possibilities for true business
application, e-commerce, social…..it takes things to the next level.

7. Why Now?
Didn’t we have voice recognition, AI and internet enabled TV’s for more than a decade? What’s
different this time? Why Now?
- A decade ago, even 3 years ago, these technologies were not mature enough for mass
adoption and consumer applications
- A lot of things had to come together to enable what we have today:
- Breakthroughs had to be made in AI, cloud computing and consumer devices.
- People’s behavior and expectations had to change to make this possible.
