Adobe has announced the acquisition of Sayspring, makers of a natural language platform for interacting with devices like Amazon Echo and Google Home/Assistant.
MyPOV: People are becoming accustomed to using their voice to interact with devices like their phones, tablets and ambient speakers (Echo, Home, etc), soon we will see a similar level of comfort for interacting with our business application software. Using voice commands is a very quick and natural way to find and create content, automate tasks, or look up people and information. It will be interesting to see how Adobe enhances their Sensei platform which provides AI features to their Document, Creative, and Customer Experience Cloud platforms using Sayspring's existing assets, but even more so leveraging their talented team to build new interfaces directly into Adobe software.
