As a major aspect of promoting Samsung Pay, Samsung's webmasters uploaded a picture specifying three choices on the best way to pay for goods: "Shopping, Mini, and Bixby".

"Bixby" is accepted to be a voice-powered digital assistant. The assistant is relied upon to be used by the majority of Samsung's first-party applications, including the Samsung web browser, Samsung's PIM software and Samsung Pay.

In October, Samsung acquired Viv, an artificial intelligence startup started by Dag Kittlaus, Chris Brigham, Adam Cheyer, and a significant part of a similar engineering group in charge of Apple's Siri. Viv was said to offer a platform which empowered third-party developers to tap into its capacities. All the more impressive, it supposedly gave a framework to natural language-based interfaces in apps and services — i.e., voice-navigated menus and custom commands.

Considering exactly how essential the Galaxy S8 will be for Samsung — considering the scandalous Note 7's disaster — we unquestionably trust that whatever's being done may wind up being of enormous importance for the company; and with Google's hardware intrusion, it'll be fascinating to see how things eventually work out.
