UIIn interface is very small and fresh,The function is not much different from the rest of the system,Feel free to play a few times,There's really nothing brilliant about the function,Regular,Neither will make people feel difficult to use,It won't make the user feel bright,It can be said,If this is really such a brush package appears on the Internet,It will soon be obscure,It's difficult to attract the attention of others。

Of course, this is a rudimentary beta version, and many features don't need to be novel, just enough to be able to use them, and the "Pioneer" really shines in other places.

Slide your finger to open the settings, slide to the "personal voice assistant" below, click on it and choose to turn it on, the interface of the whole phone is immediately black, and when it suddenly lights up again, a whole line of prompt words appears.

"Welcome to the Pioneer Personal Voice Assistant, please name me."

"Well, you'll call it BOX."

"Okay, I'll be called BOX from now on, how do you call you?"

"Call me a developer."

"Yes, developer, the wake word has been set, and then BOX will launch a series of services for you......"

In a few simple conversations, if you have been using voice assistants for a long time, you will immediately realize the abnormality. Changed to an ordinary voice assistant, even if it supports custom wake-up words, it is impossible to understand natural language to such an extent, but it needs to be set stiffly step by step, where is an ordinary conversation like Lu Yuan, all the settings are completed.

Simple is not like words...... But it's really that simple.

The development of technology is to provide convenient services for human beings, and the more intelligent the AI, the more convenient it is to set up, without spending a lot of time and energy to record over and over again.

But such a test result does not say anything, the difficulty of speech recognition lies in the recognition sampling rate in complex environments, and the recognition accuracy of various language series, the former is easy to solve, and the latter two years ago, Google's speech recognition error rate is still 25%, so far down to 1/16, it is still far away from normal human-computer communication.

Lu Yuan re-reset the settings, and then tested them in different languages or dialects such as Cantonese, Sichuan, Tianjin, Shandong, English, Japanese, French, etc., and the results showed that the pioneer recognition score was very remarkable, except for an accidental recognition error, the recognition rate of large sections of dialogue reached 100%.

This result is obviously extremely striking, and it took Google two years and hundreds of engineers to do it, but it didn't make it.

“BOX！”

Putting the screen off of his mobile phone and putting it aside, Lu Yuan shouted softly from a distance of about seven or eight meters.

In an instant, the originally dark screen suddenly activated and lit up, and a soft female voice came from the phone: "Developer, what help do you need?" ”

"Send me a text message saying I'm not coming tonight."

Lu Yuan explained in an ordinary tone, no, and even deliberately slowed down the pace of speech, the general voice assistant has a rhythm problem in collecting human voices, whether the user is fast or slow, the voice assistant will not be able to recognize it normally, but will ask the question in the previous paragraph stupidly.

But at this time, Lu Yuan deliberately slowed down his speech, but his personal assistant correctly recognized his command, and quickly entered the SMS sending interface, "May I ask the developer, who do you want to send the SMS to?" ”

"Good, no need, delete the text message."

"Okay, developer, the text message has been withdrawn."

"Help me turn on the music ......"

"I'm not in a good mood, help me choose a song that makes me feel happy."

"Alright, pause the music and check me out the weather tonight......"

Several successive conversations, named BOX's personal voice assistant, were all completed quickly and accurately, without the slightest problem.

What is surprising is that all of Lu Yuan's above orders were issued casually after the previous order was executed.

At present, all voice assistants can basically execute the current command, but they cannot be linked to the next command, that is, if the user issues a command, the voice assistant is executed, then the rest of the tasks can no longer be completed through the voice command, and even Apple's Siri must shout "Hey, Siri" again to reactivate the voice assistant.

This means that once a user has to use the voice assistant for a long time, they cannot continuously issue commands for the voice assistant to execute, and often have to activate the voice assistant multiple times.

And just like Lu Yuan just now, at least five minutes before and after, halfway through the music, he suddenly opened his mouth and asked BOX to check the weather tonight for him, so that a personal voice assistant needs to overcome the interference in the music first, accurately collect Lu Yuan's voice, and at the same time, it must be on standby at any time, and pay attention to listening to Lu Yuan's orders every second.

After a few tests in just ten minutes, you can see that the Alpha is much better than the previous version, and it is not a problem to say that it is not a problem to directly cross the Beta and RC versions to reach the final release.

"BOX, what do you think of me?"

"Developer, during these eleven minutes of contact, I thought you were a friendly person."

"Oh, why do you think I'm friendly?" Lu Yuan asked with interest.

"A person's character can be observed from words and deeds, your friendly character has been undoubtedly expressed, like the moon in the night, please don't hide yourself anymore."

"BOX, you're funny."

"Thank you for the compliment, I think so too."

Lu Yuan had to marvel, this is just a small program, and it has such a performance when it is offline, if it is connected to the Internet and let Sonny process the data, then I am afraid it will look even more amazing.

"Sonny, the version number should be upgraded to a beta version, I think it's quite perfect, and there are basically no big problems in terms of functionality."

In Lu Yuan's view, although this version of the personal assistant, even though there are still some small problems that are not flexible enough, it can be said that compared with the rest of the voice assistants on the market, such as Microsoft's Cortana, Google's GoogleNow is still only at the point of being early for users to try it, and it is far from enough to truly realize productivity and help in life, but the "pioneer" already has this qualification, can normally settle in the daily life of users, and become a helper that users can't do without.

It's self-evident that it's excellent, and now it's time to think about how to promote it.

"Well, maybe we'll have to change the name."

The role of the name can not be underestimated, most people think of Microsoft's Cortana when they mention the voice assistant, Apple's Siri, this is the brand image, in this era of positioning, marketing to do well, it is necessary to brainwash people, a simple and easy to understand catchy brand name, for the promotion of goods has an extremely powerful role.

However, "Pioneer" and "PX-1" can only be used as internal code names, and if they are really used as brand names, the promotion effect will become negative.

"What's the name?"

"Stupid? Guoguo? Xiaojie? Xiao Nan? ”

Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "By the way, it's called 'Coco', and the voice is softer and younger, directly set to 17 years old...... But in this way, it is better to set it up as a kind of virtual idol assistant. ”

In this era, there is a group that cannot be ignored, although they do not have a girlfriend, they can't find a girlfriend, and they don't even want to find a girlfriend, but this group of people of all ages has considerable spending power. China, Japan, South Korea, similar groups are quite large, once you can grasp the consumption psychology of this group, it will be of great help to Lu Yuan's follow-up steps.

What's more, directly making the voice assistant into a virtual idol will increase people's sense of substitution. Human beings are sensual creatures, and with the AI level of "pioneers", coupled with the setting of virtual idols, it is extremely easy for people to become accustomed to and attached to it under long-term contact. At that point, the "Pioneer" will be completely integrated into everyone's lives and become an alternative electronic pet.
