Bixby is also fantastic in answering inquiries. Feel free to ask Bixby to set your screen brightness to 40 percent, or to show you photos from your most recent trip to New York City, and the personal assistant will quickly comply.

Bixby also has the power to identify things with Android’s camera, specifically products, wine, places and landmarks, text translation, similar images, and barcodes. Bixby will even provide random facts upon request.

The second iteration of Bixby is already on the way, involving incorporation into smart fridges and TV. AI apps are intent on enabling you to control functions in your home with ease.

Whereas some AI apps require a specific instruction — like “find Italian restaurants” — for relevant results, Hound is capable of providing results upon a more conversational request. “Hey Hound, what are the top-rated Italian restaurants around me?” will turn up precisely what you’re seeking, while some other AI apps will respond with confusion.

Stifr Magic Cleaner
