Published on Jun 17, 2016
Virtual assistant technology is rapidly spreading on smartphones and devices like Amazon's Echo. But Silicon Valley is taking note of a less mainstream product called Viv that comes from two of the men who dreamed up Siri, before it was bought by Apple. Viv co-founder and CEO Dag Kittlaus joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss the new generation of virtual assistants powered by artificial intelligence.

Siri wasn't "invented", it was bought from Nuance and products have been doing similar things for years (Early 2000's, think PocketPC, Compaq iPaq)
Google Voice search - released in 2002.
Wow, Viv can call other apps. Color me not surprised. Been doing that since the 90's.
The bar for "Artificial Intelligence" keeps getting set lower and lower.
