By Rahul AroraArtificial Solutions, a natural language interaction (NLI) specialist that enables users to have a meaningful, humanlike interaction with technology, recently announced the beta version of its Indigo app is now available. Indigo is the world's first intelligent personal assistant app to persist conversations across platforms and devices.
Indigo enables users to manage pre-installed apps such as contacts, weather, maps, calendars, reminders and alarms as well as compose and send texts, update Facebook and send tweets through their voice. Available for download on any Internet-enabled device, Indigo sources data from places like Yelp and Wolfram Alpha (News - Alert), and can mine users’ e-mail and calendar appointments, as well as maps and search engines. In addition to voice input, it responds to text queries, which they can't do on Siri, and can only do for search with Google Now. Indigo is now available for devices running Windows Phone 8, and an Android (News - Alert) Phone or Tablet operating V.4 and above (Ice Cream Sandwich and Jellybean).
"Indigo is the world's first truly personal assistant. Unlike anything else on the market, Indigo is capable of running across multiple platforms, remembering details and is highly intelligent, allowing Indigo to deliver a really humanlike experience. She'll even tell you a joke," says Lawrence Flynn, CEO of Artificial Solutions. "Indigo's unique ability to follow users as they switch between devices whether it's within a mobile app or on a desktop browser makes her very versatile for all kinds of applications."
Specializing in Natural Language Interaction, Artificial Solutions’ patented technology enables people to hold two-way meaningful conversations with applications and services running on computers, mobile technology and other electronic devices in a humanlike, intelligent manner.
