VIKI

Umm 8 days doesn't reach January 30th where Everything will be unveiled so I don't see what the point of this is if it is Not part of the Launch.

[iToya]

Now I'm curious...sure it has nothing to do with the launch, but it's a nice distraction. So what's this Viki? New game? I'm intrigued!

[TomJasper]

Guess we will know in 8 days 16 hours 26 minutes won't we.

What's this? Does it have any relationship with RIM/BB10?

[TomJasper]

Yes, exclusive to Blackberry actually.

Someone is working on a voice control app for BB10. I wish they would reconsider the name but oh well.

Agrima Infotech, the makers of India’s first humanoid controlled robot brings their patented voice assistance app VIKI to BlackBerry 10! This exclusive BlackBerry application acts as a personal assistant to all your needs such as real-time news, weather forecasts, browse movies, sports scores, conversions , navigation etc. It also schedules your meeting, set reminders and lot more. VIKI is developed on the basis guidance from RIM’s Innovation Zone Startup Village. The app will be available at launch of Blackberry 10 on BlackBerry World.

I just want the B10 already!

[cjcampbell]

Interesting. I look forward to seeing how functional this one is in different regions. Also, seeing as it's a 3rd party app, I wonder if it will be able to speak to text for BBM, texts, emails, and others.

[colorwatch2000]

It intrigues me now .... Thank you very much

[calicocat2010]

Wonder how this is Any different than SayIt....

Lol. If it's any consolation my post #1 at least has the proper link, rest of the media who got on this info didn't get the spelling right,hence they have broken links going no where, we at CB now have the countdown clock, at the right website. V1KI dot com, not VIKI dot com

That would be handy.

bb exclusive=built for blackberrys.I approve more of these exclusive apps more of the same please devs.

[jonno_atamaniuk]

Well that's not only a first, but a welcome first too! Something exclusive to BlackBerry and looking good is always welcome. I'm hoping this actually is something quite revolutionary in the voice control realm

[TomJasper]

They (the engine) have done work with voice/data controlled artificial intelligence robots, so just based on that this should be interesting.

I'm not sure if it was always in the works or spawned on from RIM's Innovation Zone Startup Villiage, perhaps some of both.

With cost of over-seas labor being fairly low, you could really have actual humans listening in on your "Viki" or "Siri" requests and perhaps acting as a personal assistant or concierge? With many of our tech support out of India already, this may be the wave of the future?
