The UI interface is very small and fresh, and the functions are not much different from other systems. If you play around for a few times, there is really nothing outstanding in the function. It is average and will not make people feel difficult to use, nor will it make the user feel lit up. It can be said that if this is such a flashing package appears on the Internet, it will soon become a common person, and it will be difficult to attract other people's attention.

Of course, this is a primary test version. There is no need to pursue novelty in many functions. It is enough to be able to use it normally. The "pioneer" is truly outstanding in other places.

Slide your finger to open the settings, slide to the "Personal Voice Assistant" below, click in and select to turn on, the entire phone's interface immediately darkened, and when it suddenly lights up again, the entire line of prompt words appeared.

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

"Well, you just call it BOX."

"Okay, from now on, I will call you BOX. What do you mean by me?"

"Call me a developer."

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

If you use a few simple conversations, if you have been in contact with a voice assistant for a long time, you will immediately realize the abnormality. If you are an ordinary voice assistant, even if you support custom wake-up words, you will not be able to understand natural language to this extent. You need to set it step by step, and you will have to set it hard, just like Lu Yuan’s ordinary conversation, and you will complete all the settings.

It's so simple...but it's that simple.

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

But this test result cannot explain anything. One of the difficulties in speech recognition lies in the recognition sampling rate in complex environments, and the other is the recognition accuracy of various language series. The former is easy to solve. The latter two years ago, Google's speech recognition error rate was still 25%, which has been reduced to 1/16 so far, which is still far from normal human-computer communication.

Lu Yuan restored the settings again, and then tested them in different languages ​​or dialects such as Cantonese, Sichuan, Tianjin, Shandong, English, Japanese, French, etc. The results showed that the pioneers' recognition score was very significant. In addition to an accidental recognition error, the recognition rate of large conversations reached 100%.

The result is obviously extremely amazing. Google has spent two years and the efforts of hundreds of engineers, but it has not achieved this.

“BOX!”

Putting the screen off on the phone aside, Lu Yuan shouted softly from about seven or eight meters away.

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

"Send me a text message and say I won't come tonight if I have something to do."

Lu Yuan explained it in an ordinary tone, no, and even deliberately slowed down the pace of speech. Generally, voice assistants have a rhythm problem when collecting voices. Whether the user is fast or slow, the voice assistant cannot recognize it normally, and instead will silly ask the previous paragraph questions.

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

"Very 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, so I can help me choose the song that makes me happy."

"Okay, pause the music and check me about the weather tonight..."

After several consecutive conversations, the personal voice assistant named BOX was completed quickly and accurately, and there was no problem during this period.

What is surprising is that all the commands above Lu Yuan were issued casually after executing the previous command.

Now all voice assistants can basically execute the current command, but they cannot be associated with the next command. That is to say, if the user issues a command and the voice assistant is executed, then the remaining tasks can no longer be completed through the voice command. 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, he cannot issue commands continuously for the voice assistant to execute, and often needs to activate the voice assistant multiple times.

And just like Lu Yuan just now, at least five minutes before, when the music was halfway through, he suddenly spoke up and asked BOX to check the weather for him tonight. In this way, a personal voice assistant needs to overcome the interference in playing the music and accurately collect Lu Yuan's voice. At the same time, it must be on standby at any time and pay attention to listening to Lu Yuan's commands every second.

With a few simple tests in ten minutes, you can see that Alpha is much more complete than the previous version. It is not a problem to directly become the final version that crosses the Beta and RC versions to Release.

"BOX, what do you think of me?"

"Developer, during these eleven minutes of contact, I think you are a friendly person."

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

"A person's personality can be observed by his words and deeds. Your friendly personality has undoubtedly been shown, just as dazzling as the moon in the night. Please don't hide yourself anymore."

"BOX, you're so funny."

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

Lu Yuan had to be amazed that this was just a mini program, and it was offline and it was like this. If you were connected to the Internet and asked Sunny to process the data, it would be even more amazing.

"Sonny, just upgrade the version number to be beta version. I think it has been quite complete, and there is basically no big problem with the functions."

In Lu Yuan's opinion, although this version of personal assistant still has some minor problems of inflexibility, it can be said that compared with other voice assistants on the market, such as Microsoft's Cortana, Google's Google Now is still at the point of being useful for users to try out. It is far from qualified to truly realize productivity and help in life. However, the "pioneer" already has this qualification and can normally enter the daily life of users and become an helper that users cannot do without.

Its excellence is self-evident. What we need to do now is to think about how to promote it.

"Well, maybe you have to change your name."

The role of the name cannot be underestimated. Most people think of Microsoft's Xiaona and Apple's Siri when they mention voice assistants. This is the brand image. In this era of positioning, if marketing is done well, it must be brainwashed. A simple, easy-to-understand and catchy brand name has an extremely powerful effect on promoting products.

As for "pioneer", "PX-1" can only be used as an internal code. If it is really used as a brand name, the promotion effect will become negative.

"What name should I choose?"

"Benbian? Guoguo? Xiaojie? Xiaonan?"

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

There is a group that cannot be ignored in this era. Although they do not have girlfriends, they cannot find girlfriends, and they don’t even want to find girlfriends, but this group of age has considerable consumption capacity. China, Japan, and South Korea, and similar groups are quite large. Once they can grasp the consumption psychology of this group, it will be of great help to Lu Yuan’s subsequent steps.
