Here’s what Samsung’s new AI assistant Bixby can do

Samsung could begin a new chapter when it reveals its long-awaited Galaxy S8 on March 29, putting the calamity of the Note 7 behind it and demonstrating that it can step forward with innovative features.
“Samsung has a conceptually new philosophy to the problem: instead of humans learning how the machine interacts with the world (a reflection of the abilities of designers), it is the machine that needs to learn and adapt to us. The interface must be natural and intuitive enough to flatten the learning curve regardless of the number of functions being added. With this new approach,Samsung has employed artificial intelligence, reinforcing deep learning concepts to the core of our user interface designs. Bixby is the ongoing result of this effort,” the blog quoted.
What can Bixby do?
1. When an application becomes Bixby-enabled, Bixby will be able to support almost every task that the application is capable of performing using touch commands. Most existing agents currently support only a few selected tasks for an application and therefore confuse users about what works or what doesn’t work by voice command. The completeness property of Bixby will simplify user education on the capability of the agent, making the behaviours of the agent much more predictable.
2. When using a Bixby-enabled application, users will be able to call upon Bixby at any time and it will understand the current context and state of the application and will allow users to carry out the current work-in-progress continuously. Bixby will allow users to weave various modes of interactions including touch or voice at any context of the application, whichever they feel is most comfortable and intuitive.
3. When the number of supported voice commands gets larger, most users are cognitively challenged to remember the exact form of the voice commands. Most agents require users to state the exact commands in a set of fixed forms. Bixby will be smart enough to understand commands with incomplete information and execute the commanded task to the best of its knowledge, and then will prompt users to provide more information and take the execution of the task in piecemeal. This makes the interface much more natural and easier to use.
If Bixby can do what it guarantees and do as such in a way that awes those early Galaxy 8 users, that could bode well to transfer the technology to other Samsung gadgets for the home like its TVs, speakers and fridges.
