Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri and even Cortana are on everyone’s lips. But what about Bixby? First introduced in 2017 in Korea, the US and China, other languages like French, Spanish, German or Italian were just launched in the beginning of 2019. This talk will give a short introduction into the Bixby virtual assistant and how the development of Bixby capsules differs from building Alexa Skills or Google Actions. You will learn about the basic concepts, the tools you need and the Bixby Marketplace.
