Samsung to Acquire the AI Platform Startup Viv

Samsung announced that it has agreed to acquire Viv, a startup that has developed an AI platform that enables developers to build and use conversational assistants and integrate natural language based interface into applications and services. 

Viv’s goal is to provide an “intelligent interface to everything”, including for instance IoT devices.

Samsung says that the deal shows its commitment to virtual personal assistants and its vision to deliver an AI-based ecosystem across all of its devices and services. Viv’s natural language interface could be integrated for example with Samsung’s home appliances and wearables.

Conversational assistants appear to be a hot area right now. Google recently announced its Google Assistant, an extension to Google Now, at Google I/O. Apple has Siri and Microsoft has Cortana. Even Cisco is working on its own digital assistant called Monica.
