Vinny,
We launched on Windows Phone specifically to be out ahead of Cortana, and be better at a lot of things than "she" is. Windows Phone doesn't have good api's for calendar management and contacts. As a result we opted to not touch those features. Microsoft will likely be much better at those things than we are, but we really shine at conversational search, and in the next week or two we will also be doing a lot more voice "sales" stuff. We will have an android version sometime around May, and we will make the protocol open so that people can build their own client for any platform. For us being better than Microsoft is a good way to get press when that ships, but for conversational search we are already on par with Google Now, and as more of our data sources come on line we should surpass Google Now in short order. Google has a definite advantage of having more of the internet at their disposal, but our NLP engine is about 300 times faster than NTLK, or CoreNLP so we can do a lot more on the fly. -Brandon Wirtz CTO PlexiNLP.com 650-281-1467 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vinny P Sent: Friday, February 28, 2014 10:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [google-appengine] Show and Tell: Plexi Voice a Windows Phone 8 App with AppEngine backend.

How do you think it'll stack up to Plexi? Plexi Voice looks terrific; I'll need to borrow my friend's Windows phone and try it out :-) ----------------- -Vinny P Technology & Media Advisor Chicago, IL App Engine Code Samples: <http://www.learntogoogleit.com/> http://www.learntogoogleit.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
